DAY AGAINST HATE · FEBRUARY 13 · 2020
ON FEBRUARY 13TH, 2020, NEW YORKERS FROM Many CULTUREs AND EVERY BOROUGH WILL JOIN TOGETHER FOR A CITYWIDE Day Against Hate Violence
The Day Against Hate was an opportunity for communities across New York to come together, learn concrete upstander skills, and begin to build the relationships we need to protect ourselves and each other from hate violence.
Hate violence is rising. Jewish, Muslim, Black and Brown, immigrant, and LGBTQ communities — all of us have a shared interest in defeating Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, racism, homophobia & transphobia, and all forms of identity-based violence.
By participating in the Date Against Hate, residents of New York City took another step away from fear, and toward each other. None of us is responsible for the bigoted ideologies that undergird hate violence, but all of us have the ability to fight back. By becoming upstanders, we can take greater responsibility for the safety and character of our city, and ourselves.
