How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Public Education and Opinion Mobilization
    methodology: public_education_and_opinion_mobilization
    By educating the public about extremist financing and mobilizing public opinion, we reduce support for extremist groups and strengthen democratic values, because informed publics are less likely to tolerate or enable extremist movements and more likely to support systemic countermeasures.
