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:
- Jim Goad, “How to Divide White People.” (video)
- Greg Johnson “Frank Herbert: Our Prophet.” (text)
- David M. Zsutty, “Introducing the Homeland Institute.” (video)
Congratulations to Lydia who won our Dune costume contest! Spectacular!
Which one is the real Lady Jessica?
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.

Thank you so much Cyan, Greg, and the rest of the Counter Currents/Homeland Institute team for hosting an unforgettable fall retreat in the lone star state! Was glad to be there!
What does it mean to “sponsor an event in [my] area”?
Hi Adam! If you’re interested in bringing an event to your city, let’s talk. My email address is [email protected]. Sponsors pitch in to cover event expenses such as speaker travel or catering to make it possible to bring an event to you that would not otherwise be feasible in our operating budget. This is an enormous help since it expands our ability for outreach and establishes a community of people in a new area!
Thank you for the reply. I’m mostly interested in smaller, less formal events. I doubt I could afford to fund a conference with speakers, unfortunately. (If I ever strike it rich…)
Volunteering is just as important! There are so many pieces to putting on a great event that there is always a need for extra hands. Let’s continue this over email – I’ll send you a message now. You’re the best!
