Demystifying extremism so it can be recognized and addressed.
Protecting Communities from Online Violent Extremism
The Clarion Project is an independent nonprofit dedicated to helping the public understand, recognize, and reduce the growing threat of violent extremism—both online and in our communities.
What We Do
The Clarion Project provides fact-based insight into how extremists operate, how they recruit, and how their influence can be disrupted before violence occurs.
Our work focuses on three core areas:
Awareness
Monitoring and exposing emerging threats.
Prevention
Empowering communities to spot warning signs.
Why It Matters
Extremism doesn’t start with violence. It starts online.
By shining light on how these movements spread and offering tools to recognize early warning signs, we help create:
Better-informed communities
Fewer pathways to recruitment
Safer digital spaces
Our Origin Story
Clarion Project began with documentary filmmaking — using primary sources, original translations, and unfiltered material to show audiences what extremist ideology actually looks like.
That work reached millions and shaped understanding at a critical moment.
Documentary work taught us how propaganda functions and how narratives radicalize. Those skills became foundational when the battlefield moved online.
As extremist networks migrated to online platforms, threats began forming in real time—largely unseen and unchallenged.
At that point, telling the story after the fact stopped being sufficient.
Clarion Project adapted because the mission required it.
That evolution led to the creation of the Clarion Intelligence Network.
