The People's Briefing: Domestic Extremism, Global Consequences

Domestic extremism is no longer a fringe issue — it’s a defining national security challenge with implications that reach far beyond U.S. borders. In this People Briefing, we examine how rising political radicalization, anti‑DEI movements, and the resurgence of white nationalist ideologies shape America’s safety, global standing, and democratic resilience.

Our guest expert, Dr. Nola Haynes, will unpack how extremist narratives are shaping policy, how the erosion of diversity in national security spaces weakens institutional readiness, and why the exclusion of experienced Black voices has real‑world consequences for crisis response and global stability. Together, we’ll explore what these trends mean for Americans abroad, for international partners, and for the future of U.S. leadership.

This conversation is designed to be open‑ended, accessible, and grounded in expertise — offering clarity on a complex topic without crossing into foreign‑policy advocacy. Join us for a timely, candid look at the forces reshaping America’s security landscape and what’s at stake for democracy at home and around the world.

About the speaker:

Dr. Nola Haynes is an international-relations focused political scientist and national security expert who teaches at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, with a portfolio that spans arms control, hybrid and space security, and democracy advocacy.
