It's a wrap folks! 

From extremism and the alt right, to white nationalism and white Christian identity, and the role social media has played in spreading false information, to peace building and how we combat hate at the community level; we’ve covered a lot in just 8 short weeks. And while vastly different from Season 1, we’ve continued to build upon the why’s and how’s of structural racism in America and the ways it continues to inform and influence lives differently.   

This season taught us the importance of understanding the varied nuances between extremist groups - information that better tells us how to engage in counterterrorism work to dismantle these entities. We’ve discussed mainstream media and the need for a new Fairness Doctrine to end opinion based journalism and fake news. We further learned of the role Christianity has played within white nationalism, and yet, most importantly, we explored that within these narratives, there are communities coming together to fight against hate, systemic racism and bigotry. A hope that we hold for all communities one day.

Join us with our wrap up episode where we share our insights, highlights and takeaways from season 2!
