This report provides a brief overview of what Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) is and what assumptions drive CVE programs. Given the illusive nature of CVE (and the ways that practitioners intentionally distance themselves from critiques of CVE), it also describes local CVE programs currently underway in Illinois and identifies the key players advancing this anti-terrorism project. Because CVE programs often are rebranded under different names and funding sources, this report also details ways to identify CVE. Lastly, this report shares the experiences of community partners across the country to illustrate the nature and impact of CVE, and how people have been exposing and resisting CVE.
