The Far Right in West Michigan examines the West Michigan “far right” and their involvement in political action at the local, state, and national level. The database tracks organizations, individuals, and foundations ranging from explicitly white supremacist groups to anti-gay religious right groups funded by wealthy families such as the DeVos and Prince families. Our broad definition of the far right includes the racist, economic, and religious right, and explores the various anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, and other such groups active in West Michigan.
