If they are smart, they are acting alone.  Their basic problem is how to get enough people to do something significant without attracting so many people that odds are there is an informant among them.  Thus far, they have not solved this problem well.  In plots that went as planned like OKC and the Boston Marathon bombing, they solved the problem by only a few people knowing there was a conspiracy going on before it happened.  In general, they have not.

Other than a few groups such as the Proud Boys, most of the militia are focused more on the Second Amendment than racism.  At least they are not traveling much to urban turf to instigate.  There could be some more groups who believe saving lives is an affront to freedom, but most don't see that as excusing violent means?

The AP just put out a piece on sunset towns or grey towns where groups of racists gather to exclude minorities.  Black people know which towns are problematic and avoid them, but white people remain ignorant enough of them to think they don't exist.  But such towns are a different problem.  They defend in their own way a particular area rather than moving where the minorities are more numerous.
