The Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR) is an exclusive, men-only fraternal order which aims to replace the US government with an authoritarian "aligned regime". Some experts in
SACR is organized as a 501(c)(10) organization, which is a nonprofit organization "with a fraternal purpose".[1] Charles Haywood incorporated the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR) in September 2021. According to The Guardian, SACR is an invitation-only exclusively male group that aims for a "civilizational renaissance". The group's website describes it as "'raising accountable leaders to help build thriving communities of free citizens' who will rebuild 'the frontier-conquering spirit of America'" and promises to "counter and conquer" the "poison" of "those who rule today".[2] SACR uses a cross-like insignia, described on the website as symbolizing "sword and shield" and rejection of "Modernist philosophies and heresies".[1]
According to The Guardian, SACR's internal mission statement states: "Our aim is to build and maintain a robust network of capable men who can reverse our society's decline and return us to the successful path off which America has strayed.... [SACR's founders] are un-hyphenated Americans, and we believe in a particular Christianity that is not blurred by modernist philosophies.... We are willing to act decisively to secure permanently, as much as anything is permanent, the political and social dominance [of their beliefs]."[1]
Filings show the group has established lodges in four locations: three in Idaho (Moscow, Boise, and Coeur d'Alene) and another in Dallas, Texas.[1]
SACR excludes from membership women, gay people, and Mormons.[3] SACR membership is by invitation only.[4]
SACR is closely associated with the Claremont Institute.[5]
Key personnel of the SACR include Scott Yenor, a professor of political science at Boise State University in Idaho and also the senior director of state coalitions at the Claremont Institute.[1][3][6] The president of Claremont Institute, Ryan P. Williams, is a member of SACR's board of directors.[1] A key administrative role is played by Skyler Kressin, a tax consultant based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.[5]
