Kerem Shalom of Concord is pleased to host Tony McAleer online for this special program as part of our ongoing L.E.D. (Learn, Explore, Discuss) series.
McAleer was an affluent, middle-class private school student and the son of a doctor. Yet he ended up at the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho, falling in with and then recruiting for some of the most notorious neo-Nazi groups in Canada and the U.S. After 15 years in the white supremacist movement and becoming a movement leader, accomplished propagandist and operator of one of the first white supremacist websites, he left the highest ranks of these groups and co-founded Life After Hate.
What led him to disengage from the violent far-right cause and how does he work today to get others to de-radicalize—to exit from hate groups, heal and become “formers”? We will learn how people are drawn to violent extremism, how the ideology takes hold and the best ways to help someone leave hate behind. McAleer will draw on his memoir, “The Cure for Hate,” which details both his personal story and his insights into de-radicalization, providing a path back from hatred.
