Formal Complaint Filed Against (RTTL) for Targeted Discrimination.
On July 24, 2025, Wild Horizons filed a formal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice against Return to the Land (RTTL), an explicitly white Christian separatist organization claiming to operate as a Private Membership Association (PMA).
RTTL has established a whites-only settlement in Arkansas and is currently expanding into Missouri. Their application process requires proving European ancestry and either Christian or pagan belief, while explicitly excluding Black, Jewish, LGBTQ+, and other non-Christian people.
The group’s co-founders have publicly framed the settlement as a “fortress for the white race,” and regularly reference white supremacist symbols and slogans. The organization openly states that its goal is to create a community that “does not include” certain identities. A violation of multiple civil rights laws when applied to housing or land access.
Although RTTL claims its PMA status protects it from regulation, its use of racial and religious criteria to exclude others from acquiring land constitutes housing discrimination under the Fair Housing Act and violates federally protected civil rights.
⚖️ Why This Complaint Matters
Wild Horizons’ DOJ complaint is based on the following:
RTTL is attempting to use private property to enforce racial and religious exclusion
The group is structuring land access as a form of cultural and demographic control
The language and framework used mirrors white nationalist organizing tactics seen in other parts of the country
🌍 How This Connects to Our Mission
