The United States Crisis Monitor provides in-depth coverage of demonstration and political violence trends across the US in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential elections.
On this page, you will find monthly in-depth reporting on key election-related themes that explain how they may impact violence trends in the US. The interactive map allows users to visualize demonstration trends and extremist activity, singling out key states, themes, and groups. ACLED’s monthly Regional Overviews will likewise continue to provide an up-to-date outline of the most significant demonstration and militia activity.
Use the tool below to see demonstration and extremist activity across the United States by event count and location. Filter the information by date range using the dropdown menus at the top right, and state by clicking on the map. You can further filter demonstration events by protest driver and extremist activity by group name using the dropdown menus. States and districts are colored according to the share of votes received by the winning party in the 2020 presidential election.
When looking at extremist activity view, the panel on the left provides a numbers breakdown per event type, and how many events involve far-right groups or other groups.
Note: ACLED defines ‘Strategic developments’ as contextually important events that may contribute to political disorder and/or may trigger future events. The inclusion of an event in the strategic development category is based on its significance in the context of disorder.
Our monthly analysis briefs break down the latest data on political violence and protest trends, highlighting potential early warning signs for closer monitoring.
