Three Percenters

Founded in the U.S. in 2008, the Three Percenters are an extreme anti-government group with a presence in the U.S. and Canada. The Three Percenters have been linked to bomb plots targeting U.S. federal government buildings and against Muslim communities. In November 2015, a Three Percenter was convicted of shooting and wounding five men at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 2020, members from the group breached the Capitol grounds and threatened political violence on lawmakers. On January 6, 2021, members of the Three Percenters participated in the storming of the U.S. Capitol building alongside other far-right groups.
