Families Against Terrorism and Extremism advertised itself as the 'biggest grassroots anti-extremism network in the world.'[1] It appears to have existed between March 2016 and around July 2017, when, presumably, the funding ran out. The domain name findfate.org was registered on 9 May 2016 using the anonymous 'Domains by proxy' service.[2]
FATE is also claimed to be:
- one of the rare straight forward organisations involving families directly touched by terrorism that started powerful campaigns targeting vulnerable youths. Thanks to numerous surveys and in-depth interviews with a hundred families, FATE published a report showing that faced by a failure of any top down government approach, the civil society and particularly families are key to countering extremism.[1]
In fact it was a front group set up by the Quilliam Foundation at the instigation of the US State Department, as Quilliam disclosed in testimony before a congressional hearing in 2018.[3]
According to that evidence:
- Families Against Terrorism and Extremism (FATE) was established in March 2016 by a partnership between Quilliam International and the US State Department division (GEC) to create a support network for civil society organisations (CSOs), state agencies, individuals and communities to come together to share ideas, experiences and resources around protecting and empowering families against terrorism and radicalisation. The US Government initiated the project for one year and have now handed the project over to Quilliam International.[3]
FATE worked with the PR agency Verbalisation in 2016[4] and later with a spinout from the firm called Global Influence.[5]
