For years, advocates have been pushing governments, in the U.S. and elsewhere, to take the problem of white supremacy-inspired and far-right-inspired terrorism seriously. As more countries recognize it as the number one threat to safety, it’s critical that governments work with civil society to gain their expertise and ensure that initiatives to combat these movements are grounded in civil and human rights principles. GPAHE works to change the way governments and law enforcement view and address white nationalism and far-right extremist activity, as reflected in their policies and strategies.
Beyond fighting white supremacy and other dangerous far-right ideologies, GPAHE advances policies that support inclusive democracies and challenges those that undermine basic human rights, dignity, and equality for all. This work is all the more important as liberal democracies succumb to authoritarian advances pushed by far-right political parties as they gain power. GPAHE contributes directly to this effort by advising lawmakers, testifying before U.S. congressional committees, and engaging with U.S. federal agencies, intelligence services, and international bodies such as the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and the European Union. We work to transform how institutions understand and respond to far-right extremism and political movements—especially in their increasingly global and networked forms. Our advocacy includes building and strengthening alliances with other civil society organizations to ensure that better policies have stronger backing and responses to extremism do not inadvertently harm the very communities most at risk.
Our policy agenda is derived from our extensive knowledge of the far-right ecosystem transnationally. Our investigations span a wide range of pressing issues, from the global expansion of white supremacist networks like the Neo-Nazi Active Clubs, to the growing use of platforms such as TikTok and Roblox by extremist groups to radicalize youth. We monitor how AI and algorithmic systems are leveraged to amplify hate and conspiracy theories, and how anti-democratic movements borrow from authoritarian regimes to push harmful agendas—especially visible in our work tracking Project 2025, the Christian nationalist and authoritarian agenda being enacted by the second Trump administration. Our reports have exposed transnational connections between far-right actors in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, including ties to authoritarian leaders and state-backed initiatives that mainstream hate. Whether it’s documenting violent threats against LGBTQ+ communities, anti-immigrant disinformation campaigns, the intentional removal of women’s rights, or the erosion of democratic norms, GPAHE’s work reveals how hate and extremism operate across borders and platforms—and advances policies on what can be done to stop them.
Rigorous research is the foundation for effective and long-term advocacy and activism. If people do not understand the problem, they cannot successfully address it. GPAHE believes that producing easily accessible and useful information for the public domain is essential to producing impactful policy change.
The White House has turned anti-immigrant rhetoric into a video game. A new arcade.gov website features games that depict migrants as targets to be stopped, rounded up, or imprisoned, bringing the racist propaganda long associated with extremist gaming communities onto an official government platform.
A new GPAHE country report finds that New Zealand’s far right remains active despite efforts to disrupt extremist networks following the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks. The report documents the rise of neo-Nazi and white nationalist groups, their growing international connections, and the spread of “remigration.” It shows how extremist movements are adapting and repackaging racist ideas as mainstream political demands.
An updated GPAHE country report examines how Australia’s far right is gaining political ground while extremist networks adapt and persist. The report tracks One Nation’s growing influence, the continued activity of neo-Nazi and anti-LGBTQ+ groups, and the movement’s expanding ties to far-right networks across the globe.
