Hate is a Virus - Let's stop it together

About this campaign

A hate crime is defined as an offense "motivated by bias toward race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender or gender identity."

In the last year, hate crimes in the US rose to the highest level in more than a decade.

Unfortunately, they continue to rise.

4930 hate crimes were based on race alone.

1715 based on religion
1429 based on sexual orientation
227 based on gender identity
170 based on disability
81 based on gender

None of these are okay.

Hate is a Virus, and we need to stop the spread.
Let’s stop it together.
