Purpose
Since Magneto's attack at the Statue of Liberty, anti-mutant sentiment around the country has spread. A number of anti-mutant hate movements have formed, but the largest and most virulent is the Friends of Humanity. Founded by anti-mutant lobbyist Graydon Creed, they are on the surface a political activist group; a grassroots campaign that swept the country and became a national movement.
Beneath the speech-making and rallies and lobbying, though, the more dedicated core of Friends have a less tempered approach to eradicating the "mutant menace". Admission into the inner ranks of the FoH is secretive and the identities of the operatives a guarded secret, but at the heart of the group is a core of extremists who employ violent means to further their goal of wiping out the entire mutant population.
Structure
The Friends of Humanity is less of an organization and more a somewhat decentralized network of more or less autonomous cells. There is some national structure and leadership -- funding member cells can obtain, prominent members who have become their spokespeople -- but for the most part, clusters of Friends can form and act around the country as they see fit. They share some guiding principles and some commonly disseminated tactics, but it's likely enough that even in neighboring cities people from two distinct cells would have no idea who each other are or what the other is up to.
Recruitment
Generally one of two ways -- Get to know someone who is involved with them, earn their trust, get invited to Do Terrorism with them. Or, independently, decide you hate mutants, look up their materials and start your own cell.
OOC Note: Many cells of the Friends of Humanity are violently murderous. Joining the more militant side of the Friends ICly is a serious commitment, not a day job. While there is room in the faction for a lot of different levels of OOC involvement and no OOC requirement to have any particular level of commitment to scenes and plots, ICly once you have joined, know who all these terrorists are, their homes and their secrets, they may not easily let you quit.
Please take this under serious advisement before joining the faction, as IC desertion or betrayal may be met with severe IC repercussions.
