Please join us via Zoom on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 7-9 pm EDT (UTC-4) for Let's Talk Series: The White Power Movement: Its History, Threat and What You Can Do About It.
The white power movement has long posed a threat to our safety and to our democracy. In this session, Julie Farnam will discuss the origins of the white power movement in the United States, how it has inspired violence throughout the years, where the movement stands today, and what we can do to address its danger. She will examine the continued assault on our educational system to deny children the right to know and understand different perspectives and that prevent the healing of past wrongs as well as strategies to recognize and combat hate in our communities.
Julie Farnam is the author of Domestic Darkness: An Insider's Account of the January 6th Insurrection, and the Future of Right-Wing Extremism (Ig Publishing, 2024).
