Help Stop the Hate.

We cannot stand by and let the Trump administration threaten the civil and human rights of all people in America by normalizing support for white supremacy in our country. Now is the time for action. We must be prepared to stand with—and for—all who live in our country, united together against hate. We will resist any attempts by hate-based groups on the fringe of American society that seek to oppress or marginalize any members of our communities. And we must declare to the administration it is unacceptable to condone Nazism, white supremacy, or any effort, policy, or party that thrives by marginalizing others.
