Rising extremism and anti-semitism pose a growing threat in the United States. Award-winning journalist Talia Lavin has been focusing on these disturbing trends, even going undercover to study the far right in her book, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy.
Her findings will be the focus of a local talk she’s giving later this month hosted by Action Tank. Kevin Aldridge is the moderator for Exploring Extremism: A Conversation with Talia Lavin, Feb. 22 at 5:30 pm at the Mayerson JCC. This is a hybrid event and Lavin will attend virtually. The event is a kickoff to Action Tank’s Preventing Political Extremism Project.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss Lavin’s work and the Preventing Political Extremism Project.
Guests:
- Talia Lavin, journalist and author
- Ioanna Paraskevopoulos, executive director and co-founder, Action Tank
Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
