Thirty hate and extremist groups operated in Colorado in 2023 with anti-government groups spreading across the state, according to a report released Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
A strong police presence was seen at the protest. The Proud Boys, a far right group, held a “free speech” event on Saturday on the Pearl Street Mall. They were countered with anti-Trump protesters among others. For more photos and a video, go to www.dailycamera.com. Cliff Grassmick Staff Photographer June 3, 2017Thirty hate and extremist groups operated in Colorado in 2023 with anti-government groups spreading across the state, according to a report released Tuesday by a human rights nonprofit.
In 2023, the Southern Poverty Law Center tracked 1,430 hate and extremist groups in the United States, according to the report. That’s up from 1,225 nationwide in 2022, the report said. “None of this matters if folks aren’t using the data and using it to advance their own rights and the democracy they so deeply care about,” Huang said in a conference call with reporters.
The danger is those sovereign citizen beliefs bleed over to other extremists, who want to use those anti-government arguments to promote their beliefs, said Joe Wiinikka-Lydon, the center’s senior research analyst.
