A white supremacist of color seems like a contradiction. Yet recent years have brought to light unsettling examples, including an Afro-Latino leader of the Proud Boys and a Latino mass shooter with neo-Nazi sympathies. These men are among a small but growing number of Latinos who gravitate toward the far right and adopt radical views on race, Christian nationalism, and immigration.

, Emmy Award–winning journalist Paola Ramos uses interviews, historical context, and expert analysis to shatter the longtime understanding of Latinos as a political monolith, uncovering a diversity of opinion that makes room for white nationalists and avowed racists.

for this free virtual event
Crime has long been a political wedge issue used to stoke anxiety and stir division, and this election cycle has been no different. Although the pandemic crime spike is receding, with steep drops in many offenses, the politicians who fear-mongered about crime in 2020 continue to call for harsher punishments and the repeal of reforms.
Law enforcement officials and other experts nationwide understand that public safety and fairness are not competing interests — they go hand in hand. Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration, a group convened by the Brennan Center comprised of current and former leaders of the law enforcement community, uses its expertise to advocate for a fairer criminal justice system. The group works to reduce incarceration while keeping communities safe. Join Law Enforcement Leaders members as they discuss the effects of reform policies, evidence-based solutions for reducing crime, and strategies to lower recidivism rates and promote successful reentry into society.
Produced in partnership with Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration, a project of the Brennan Center
Speakers: Rosemary Nidiry, Senior Counsel, Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration, Brennan Center Justice Program // Beth McCann, District Attorney, Denver, Colorado; Member, Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration // Shon F. Barnes, Chief of Police, Madison, Wisconsin; Member, Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration // Moderator: Natalie Tennant, Former West Virginia Secretary of State

Watch experts from a variety of backgrounds — across government, civil society, academia, and media — discuss what’s happened with AI in the 2024 race, what we’ve learned from the experience, and what we should look out for in the weeks before and after Election Day. RSVP today
