2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Prevent is a policy introduced in 2003 as part of the CONTEST post-9/11 counterterrorism approach. The program aims to identify and support individuals who may be susceptible to Radicalization with the aim of preventing them from becoming terrorists. It has been criticized for Islamophobia and usage to suppress non-terrorist movements.
