Mobilising grievance, demonising “the other” and wielding division are the staid tactics of authoritarian movements throughout history and across the world. Identity has always been weaponised to advance political projects, secure territory, turn financial profit, and achieve notoriety.
These strategies are not new - but they are returning with new force. The playbook is back - modernised and gaining ground.
We are not neutral observers of these trends. We are part of a growing movement determined to confront them. Our role is to raise the alarm where risks are ignored, amplify the insight of communities experiencing rising threats, and help build the prevention architecture capable of protecting people and democratic societies in the years ahead.
