Lauren Manning
Author and Advocate, Life After Hate
2021, 2022
Lauren Manning is a former far-right extremist who began leaving her life of hate behind in 2012, after becoming involved in her teenage years. Since her last tie to the movement was broken by 2015, she has been rebuilding her life and identity. Currently serving as an outreach specialist with ExitUSA, she serves a number of individuals who are looking to disengage from the extremist underground. She has also served as a speaker before, sharing her story publicly.
The Summit offers a unique opportunity to confront the corrosive influence of bigotry and hatred in our society. In order for us to address these challenges, we first must acknowledge their painful and destructive impact in our communities and in our country. I am grateful to serve as a Global Advisor to this timely and powerful initiative.
