Bros Not Bombs aims to reduce terrorism by fostering appreciation among groups with negative perceptions of the U.S. It gathers data from significant U.S. regions like New York and California, categorizing events by date and location for analysis. The National Counter Terrorism Calendar (NCTC) provides details on past incidents, assisting in understanding patterns.

Comprehensive analysis, backed by literature and data, aims to create sustainable solutions to decrease anti-American sentiments.

Bros, not Bombs A program that helps to decrease the rate of terrorism by helping projected anti-Americans in appreciating the nation
Literature Review • The websites that have been read discuss the problem of terrorism in largely populated states in the United States, such as New York, Washington D.C, Michigan, Virginia and California. The data that was collected was placed into two separate groups; first was by the date (year) of the event, second by the state of the event. The NCTC (National Counter Terrorism Calendar) seconds the data by showing each event and place on a calendar for the given year.
