From the Klickitat County Concerned Citizens:
“RADICAL FAR-RIGHT SHERIFFS AND THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY” Expert presentation offered in Goldendale, White Salmon, and online on September 28
GOLDENDALE, Washington — “Radical Far-Right Sheriffs and the Threat to Democracy,” a live online presentation by experts at the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, will be offered by Klickitat County Concerned Citizens on September 28, 2024, at 3 p.m.
Those interested can attend from home or join their neighbors at the Goldendale Public Library or White Salmon Mt. View Grange.
This presentation will cover the ongoing efforts of far-right radical groups to recruit local sheriffs into their extremist movements and organize law enforcement officers to undermine our democracy and the rule of law. Experts will detail the work of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), including its roots in vigilantism and its ties to paramilitary organizations including the Oath Keepers — convicted insurrectionists who participated in the violent January 6, 2021 attempt to overthrow the legally elected President of the United States. They will also look ahead to these organizations’ plans to intervene in upcoming elections.
