We all cherish the feeling of belonging—being part of a safe, inclusive, and welcoming community. Unfortunately, we are seeing alarming expressions of hate that divide us by discriminating against some members of our community.
A community-wide, collective response is necessary to eliminate and prevent hate and all forms of racism, discrimination, and oppression. And we all have a role to play, as individuals, organizations, faith groups, institutions, and leaders. If we all do our part, even in small ways, we can champion belonging and ending hate in our communities.
Welcome to our anti-hate toolkit. You belong here!
To build an inclusive, safe, and welcoming community where all feel a sense of belonging.
