For almost 20 years, Nigel Bromage was a leading member of the British far right, eventually joining the openly neo-Nazi organization Combat 18. Today, he leads Small Steps, an organization made up of fellow reformed neo-Nazis working to prevent others from following a similar path.
"I understand how people get drawn in, and I know what it takes to get out," Bromage explains. "We offer a way back for people who want to leave but don't know how."
His organization has helped hundreds of people leave extremist movements, offering counseling, support, and practical help rebuilding their lives.
