The '''Council of Conservative Citizens''' (CofCC) is an extremist American right-wing [[paleoconservative]] organization that supports a large variety of conservative causes. Some members of the CofCC board of directors are former leaders of the segregationist Citizen Councils of America, which is sometimes referred to as the White Citizens' Council. It is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and its most active chapter is in [[Mississippi]]. However, it is active throughout the United States. The CofCC was founded in 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia, and is now headquartered in St. Louis. The CofCC was formed by various leaders of the Citizens' Councils of America, sometimes referred to as the "White Citizens' Council", the American Populist Party, and others.
== Policy ==
The CofCC considers itself a [[paleoconservative|traditional conservative]] group opposing liberals and neo-conservatives and they also seek to promote some of the ideals of the Confederate States of America. Its specific issues include [[states rights]], race relations, and [[conservative Christianity]]. The Council of Conservative Citizens is currently fighting against immigration by non-whites, [[affirmative action]] and racial quotas, interracial marriage, [[homosexuality]], forced busing for school integration, and gun control. It opposes [[Communism]] in favour of a [[Constitutional Republic]]. Due to its bigoted attitude to interracial marriage, its support of segregation and its ties to the [[Ku Klux Klan]] it has been criticized for being a hate group.
