The Friends of Humanity is a controversial organization in the United States which publicly claims the goal of protecting and serving the human race against a growing mutant threat. Their creed varies wildly depending on who you ask. Some call the Friends violently anti-mutant, and even go so far as to label them terrorists. Otherwise maintain that they are simply interested in protecting human (and not mutant) rights in an increasingly-mutant world. Scorned and detested by some, hailed as heroes by others. It's rare to find someone without an opinion on the group.
Goals & InterestsThe public creed of the Friends of Humanity is to protect the human race against a growing mutant threat. Although they do not officially sanction the use of violence, it is unofficially accepted that this protection can and does extend to violence against and even the murder of "dangerous" mutants. Speculation on more sinister motives abounds and is easily found on a variety of Friends-affiliated web forums and mailing lists, and many members do not hesitate to make it clear that they disapprove of all mutants and believe that they should be at best cataloged and restrained, at worst killed. StructureThe structure of the Friends of Humanity is hazy from outside the group itself, but their most outspoken public figure is Graydon Creed. There seems to be a tradition of anonymity in the group itself, and members are often referred to by title rather than name. Various Friends chapters exist in cities across the country, each headed by a 'Prime.' They appear to have some degree of autonomy, with details of beliefs and actions varying from chapter to chapter. Although they posses a number of deeply conservative strongholds in the Southern States, the Friends have struggled to gain a true footing in the more cosmopolitan North. Recent historical events have given them some traction, however, particularly in mutant-torn New York City. People
LocationsResourcesEventsThe Friends of Humanity was founded by Graydon Creed in the wake of Moira MacTaggart's publications in August, 1990. The Friends spread across the south, attracting support from many conservatives, even some liberals who bought into the idea that mutants were a threat. Most Friends of Humanity events revolve around local political pressure, picketing, and demonstrations. There have been some displays of violence, however, which have urged many to call them a terrorist organization. The vast majority of these took place in the New York City chapter, where constant mutant activity and clashes with the Brotherhood of Mutants seem to have encouraged extremists. Violent activity appears to have cooled in the area since 2006.
