DENVER (KDVR) -- A new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center found there were over a thousand hate and antigovernment groups in the United States in 2024, and 33 of them were in Colorado.
Southern Poverty Law Center is a nonprofit, civil rights organization that releases an annual Year in Hate & Extremism report that looks into hate and antigovernment extremist groups in the United States as well as their influence on local, state and national government.
Hate groups in the US decline but their influence grows, report shows"These groups use political, communication, violent, and online tactics to build strategies and training infrastructure to divide the country, demoralize people, and dismantle democracy," the report said.
Over 2024, the report found there were 1,371 hate and extremist groups in the United States, a 5% decline. However, the number of hate and extremist groups in Colorado has been slowly increasing, based on the new report.

Previous reports tracked 30 groups in 2023 in Colorado, where there were 31 groups in 2022, 18 groups in 2021 and 17 in 2020.
During the start of the report in 2000, the Hate Map only noted seven groups in Colorado.
While the number of white nationalist, hate and anti-government groups around the U.S. dropped in 2024, the report said this isn't because of the shrinking influence. The report attributes the decline to the lesser sense of urgency to organize because these beliefs have entered politics, education and society.
