Domestic Terrorism & White Supremacy - American Jewish Congress - Page 3

Domestic terrorism and white supremacist activity threatens the security and democratic integrity of the United States. They present a clear danger to the American Jewish community and other minority communities. Extremist ideologies are constantly mutating and the actions they inspire impact not only our daily lives, but also, as we saw on January 6th 2021, the American democracy that we hold dear.

Our research and reports into domestic terrorism and white supremacy, developed by our in house team of experts, are informing policy makers and helping to shape the national discussion.

Our Advisory Board to Counter Domestic Terrorism and White Supremacy is comprised of eminent leaders whose expertise spans the fields of national security, law enforcement, counter terrorism, legal, and civil rights.

The American Jewish Congress is working to combat the threat of domestic terrorism and white supremacist to the Jewish community and the United States.
