John - 

In recent months, cable television host Tucker
Carlson has received attention
 for
touting the "great replacement" theory, a dangerous conspiracy theory
that states that welcoming immigrants  - particularly nonwhite
immigrants - is part of a plot designed to "replace" or undermine the
political power and culture of white people living in Western
countries.  

The truth is, this didn't start with Carlson - in fact,
the ideologies underpinning the "great replacement"
theory have always been present in the American debate on
immigration, from the 1920's "national origin" immigration quotas
enacted by Congress to former Rep. Steve King's tweets
.
We can connect numerous acts of hate and violence in recent years to the
spread of the "great replacement" theory from Pittsburgh
 to El
Paso
,
and this dangerous ideology has risen in popularity and become more
mainstream in recent years.  

Learn about how you can act to push back against the spread and rise of
the "great replacement" theory.
  

It's tempting to simply ignore conspiracy theories, especially
those so wrapped in xenophobia and extremism. But it's imperative that
we understand the history of nativism in the U.S., highlight those who
are pushing back - including former Presidents George H. W. Bush
, Bill
Clinton
, George W.
Bush
,
and Barack Obama
 and
others - and push back as well in our communities.  

Our new resource page
 is
designed to help you better understand the danger of the "great
replacement" theory, its origins, and how you can combat it in
productive ways in your community.

Thank you for all you do to encourage more productive
conversations, welcome immigrants and refugees in your communities,
and stand up to hate and fear.
