The Rise Above Movement (RAM) was a militant alt-right Southern California-based street fighting group which has variously been described as "a loose collective of violent neo-Nazis and fascists", white nationalists, white supremacists, and far-right persons. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), it "was inspired by identitarian movements in Europe and it was trying to bring their philosophies and violent tactics to the United States." Its members were primarily located in the areas of Orange County and San Diego, and as of 2018, have been variously numbered at 20 to 50.
