Hate must be exposed and denounced. Help
news organizations achieve balance and depth. Do

Call a friend or co-worker. Organize
allies from churches, schools, clubs and other
civic groups. Create a diverse coalition. Include

Elected officials and other community

SUPPORT THE VICTIMS


Hate-crime victims are especially vulnerable,

Promote tolerance and address bias before
another hate crime can occur. Expand your com-

Look inside yourself for prejudices
and stereotypes. Build your own cultural compe-

3 Support the Victims
Hate-crime victims are especially vulnerable,
fearful and alone. If you’re a victim, report every
incident — in detail — and ask for help. If you learn
about a hate-crime victim in your community,
show support. Let victims know you care.
Surround them with comfort and protection.

6 Speak Up

Do not debate hate-group members in conflict-
driven forums. Instead, speak up in ways that
draw attention away from hate, toward unity.

Look inside yourself for prejudices and ste-
reotypes. Build your own cultural compe-
tency, then keep working to expose discrim-
ination wherever it happens — in housing,
employment, education and more.

from every state, to help inspire ideas for change in your own community.
