CEP Webinar: (Mis)Understanding The Transnational Violent Extreme-Right Active
Club Strategy


(New York, N.Y. / Berlin, Germany) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP)
invites you to a webinar to discuss the latest developments around the white
supremacist Active Club network in the U.S. and Europe. Active Clubs are
arguably the largest and fastest growing violent extreme-right network with
more than 100 groups in North America and Europe.



The underlying strategy was developed in the U.S. in 2020 with the aim to
build a shadow militia. To hide in plain sight, Active Clubs are supposed to
present a friendly face to the public with a focus on sports and brotherhood to
avoid law enforcement interventions. This less aggressive and more mainstream
looking strategy is also meant to help grow the network.



In September 2023, CEP published the first comprehensive report
<[link removed]>
on the Active Club network and strategy. Further CEP research looked into the
militant nature
<[link removed]>
of the network and addressed the importantdifference
<[link removed]>
between Active Clubs and other right-wing extremist groups doing combat sports.



The Swedish EXPO Foundation published a detailed report
<[link removed]> on the
local Active Club network in November 2023, while the Dutch weekly magazine De
Groene Amsterdammerinvestigated
<[link removed]> the scene in the
Netherlands in February 2024.



The webinar will be conducted in English via Zoom.
