The report underscores the harms created by hate and extremism, particularly for Black and Brown communities, and uplifts stories of resilience of those pushing back against malign forces.

Friend,

The latest edition of the SPLC’s Year in Hate and Extremism report is now available. We publish The Year in Hate and Extremism annually to detail the scope of activities and dangers posed posed to our communities and our democracy by hate and antigovernment extremist groups, movements, and networks across the United States.

Here are the top findings you need to know:

• 1,225 active hate and antigovernment extremist groups were documented across the U.S. in 2022.



• In the aftermath of Trump’s 2020 election loss and the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, extremist groups shifted their tactics to organizing locally and pursuing their agenda in venues where it is easier to gain power.



• Schools were a particularly notable battleground.



• The fear of “white extinction,” which was once central to just the white nationalist movement, has been alarmingly mainstreamed. The “great replacement” conspiracy theory is a notion that is inherently white supremacist and antisemitic, a false narrative that asserts that non-white immigrants are systematically replacing white people. This lie is being widely perpetuated in media and political narratives.
