“892 Hate Groups are currently operating in the US. Track them…with our Hate Map.
- All hate groups have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.
- This list was compiled using hate group publications and websites, citizen and law enforcement reports, field sources and news reports. Groups that appear in the center of states represent statewide groups
- Hate group activities can include criminal acts, marches, rallies, speeches, meetings, leafleting or publishing.
- The SPLC has documented an explosive rise in the number of hate groups since the turn of the century, driven in part by anger over Latino immigration and demographic projections showing that whites will no longer hold majority status in the country by around 2040. As the chart shows, this rise accelerated in 2009, the year President Obama took office, before leveling off and beginning to decline in 2011. Read about our most recent count in 2015, when the total number of groups increased for the first time in three years (download a PDF of the HateMap). “
