From Red Wine &Blue: What’s the psychology behind extremist movements?

From the “manosphere” to “tradwives,” extremist movements are welcoming in more and more people. They use fear and “us vs. them” thinking to persuade and push people towards extremism. But if we understand how these tactics can be effective, we can fight back against them!

We’ve invited the team at Mindbridge, the nation’s leading non-profit using brain and behavioral science to empower human rights defenders, to help us dive into the psychology behind today’s extremist movements. They will share research that helps explain how people end up in these harmful mindframes – and what we can do about it.Join us on Tuesday, January 27 at 7:30 PM ET for a virtual event, Understanding Extremism: The Psychology of Radicalization.

Fighting extremism and radicalization can be exhausting. But here’s the good news: the same psychological forces that allow extremist movements to thrive can also be used to defeat them.

We know you want to change hearts and minds. The first step is understanding the people you want to influence and the unconscious biases and stereotypes that pull us apart. Don’t miss this event!

Join us for this science-based perspective on political movements and social change.
