December 6 - SPLC president, Richard Cohen, to speak in Milwaukee

November 28, 2012

SPLC president, Richard Cohen, will speak at the Milwaukee Interfaith Conference's Annual Luncheon and Awards on Thursday, December 6, 2012. The conference is honoring the Sikh community for its exemplary response to the temple shootings in Oak Creek.

Richard will speak about the SPLC's work tracking and investigating the Sikh temple gunman and other racist ideologues; the rise of domestic extremism in our nation; the massive growth of radical anti-government groups since President Obama's election; and the SPLC's other critical work fighting hate and racism in our country.

We hope you're able to attend.
