Three years ago, neo-Nazis and white supremacists descended on Charlottesville, VA for a weekend of violence. This violence was no accident — rather, it was the result of months of planning. And it served as a harbinger of the cycle of extremist terror that has followed.
Integrity First for America (IFA), in partnership with a world-class legal team, is uniquely taking on the neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and hate groups at the center of this violent movement, holding them accountable in federal court for the violence they brought to Charlottesville in 2017.
IFA’s lawsuit details how these extremists conspired online to orchestrate a weekend of violence, which resulted in Heather Heyer’s death and extensive injuries. It provides a tangible way to take action against the white supremacy and extremism that’s poisoning this country and has the potential to bankrupt and dismantle the leaders and hate groups at the center of this movement — which is key, given their disturbing connections to the broader cycle of violence.
Taking on, and taking down, these violent extremists is all the more critical as we see them try to exploit recent protests to spread disinformation, hate, fear, and violence.
Lead attorney Roberta Kaplan and IFA Executive Director Amy Spitalnick will discuss the groundbreaking Charlottesville lawsuit and the broader fight against violent white supremacy at this critical moment—moderated by Yvette McGee Brown, former Ohio Supreme Court Justice and current Partner-in-Charge of Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement at Jones Day, with opening remarks from Joel Marcovitch, CEO of JewishColumbus.
