On April 8, at 7 p.m. EST, the National Security Law Society at the Georgetown University Law Center will host Lawfare Live for a live recording of the Lawfare Podcast on the implications of white extremism as a national security issue. Recent events, including the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, have only reinforced the growing challenge of white extremism as a challenge to the United States’ democratic future. How has this challenge evolved in recent years? Are law enforcement and the American public well-positioned to address this threat? Join Lawfare’s editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes for a discussion with Elizabeth Neumann, a former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff of the Department of Homeland Security, Ryan Greer, the National Security Director and Chief of Staff for Government Relations and Advocacy at the Anti-Defamation League, Lawfare deputy managing editor Jacob Schulz and Lawfare senior editor Scott Anderson.
