Event Overview
White supremacist ideas once confined to the margins of U.S. society have increasingly entered mainstream political and cultural spaces, shaping debates, influencing policy, and fueling polarization.
This briefing will explore how white supremacist narratives and ideologies have become normalized in public discourse, their connections to Christian nationalism and political mobilization, and what this shift means for communities and journalists covering these issues.
