Hate Groups in Kitsap? Yes, they are here!
March 4, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Kitsap Aware forum series is open to the public (admission free)
This forum on HATE GROUPS is a workshop to help us identify and understand white nationalist and white supremacist ideology and groups (including those in our region) so that we can challenge their harmful rhetoric and actions.
The session will provide an introduction to white nationalism (what it is, its origins and activities) along with information on other forms of racialized hate (so-called “patriot” and militia types, and anti-Indian groups). Then we will learn details concerning groups active in Kitsap County and dialogue about what can be done to counter them.
Featured Speakers:
Chuck Tanner, Advisory Board Member for the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights. IREHR.org
Leah Henry-Tanner, Coordinator at Native American Women’s Dialogue on Infant Mortality, member of the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho.
Chuck Tanner and Leah Henry-Tanner are long-time human and civil rights activists. They live in Kitsap County where they do community education about tribal treaty rights and sovereignty, and far right movements.
