In 2022 we had our best fundraiser year yet despite the economic downturn. Your incredible generosity allowed us to expand beyond the webzine and printed material into real-world events. Since then, and thanks to your encouragement, we held several international meet-and-greets and three conferences: two in the United States (Atlanta, Georgia and Fort Worth, Texas), and one in Europe.

We’re currently wrapping up plans for our Spring 2024 event in May. Counter-Currents brings people together from all over the world at a time when huge opportunities lie ahead. This year we’ve so far raised $118,338, or 39% of our $300,000 goal. Please donate here today to keep the momentum going. (You can read more here about all of our activities that you support through your gifts.) And thanks to a good friend, the next $311 we receive from brand-new givers will be matched!

The next conference will be held in Europe in May. If you are interested in attending or sponsoring, please contact Cyan Quinn at [email protected].

On the first weekend in October, we were welcomed in Texas to enjoy some camaraderie; launch our new non-profit research arm, The Homeland Institute; and celebrate the birthday of an artist of the Right: science fiction novelist Frank Herbert, the author of the Dune series of books, as well as a number of other classics.

We owe special thanks to the following sponsors and volunteers:

• JJ: Thank you for sharing your technological talents!


• C, JB, & C: Your activism is an enormous encouragement to all of us.


• E and N: It wouldn’t be the same without you — you brighten the room wherever you go.


• Ron: Some people are stubborn, just like your horse, but friends like you will steer them in the right direction.


• F: We’re all more effective with a little caffeine and sugar. Without you, we wouldn’t have such rave reviews as these.


• Karl: Your energy and optimism is contagious. Thank you!


• Lydia: No task escapes your eye. You’re such a kind and reliable friend who helps whenever and wherever needed.


• Perihelius and TT: Thank you both for sponsoring students. They are the future of the movement!

At every event we have people who are at their very first in-person meeting with movement people, and several who are new to the Counter-Currents community. Your gifts make this expansion possible!

The video and text of some of the presentations from the event can be found below:

Congratulations to Lydia who won our Dune costume contest! Spectacular!

At every event there are closed-door sessions or talks off the record. For this reason, events are by invitation only in order to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can network effectively. Please contact Program Director Cyan Quinn to be on the list for our next event or to sponsor one in your area.
