Spencer Sunshine, PhD, is a researcher, writer, activist, speaker, and political consultant regarding far right movements. In 1990, he co-founded an anti-racist youth group in the metro Atlanta, Georgia to combat the influence of the Nazi skinhead movement, which was hegemonic in the local punk scene. Since 2005, he has written extensively about the US Far Right. This includes postwar fascism, the Patriot/militia movement, left-right crossover movements, as well as antisemitic currents on both the Left and Right. Sunshine was present at the armed takeover of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in January 2016. In August 2017 he was part of the counter-demonstration against the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was in the crowd during the car attack which killed Heather Heyer and injured about 30 others.
