The Southern Poverty Law Center—an organization dedicated to fighting racism—has published its annual “Hate Map” that lists active racist and fascist groups around the United States.
As part of its mapping project, the group lists several active groups in Michigan. These include:

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s map should be seen as a starting point, as they have a tendency to miss smaller groups and those that function without seeking media attention.
In addition to their listing of racist and fascist groups, they have also compiled state-by-state list of “Nativist” and “Patriot” (i.e. militia groups).
As always, if you have information about organized racist and fascist activity, please contact Michigan Racism Watch.
