10 Ways to Fight Hate -- action ideas from the Tolerance Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"This guide sets out 10 principles for fighting hate along with a collection of inspiring stories of people who acted, often alone at first, to push hate out of their communities. Our experience shows that one person, acting from conscience and love, can neutralize bigotry. A group of people can create a moral barrier to hate."
"Every day ...
at least eight blacks, three whites, three gays, three Jews and one Latino become hate crime victims. "
Principles are fleshed out well with stories and concrete ideas: Act -- Unite -- Support the Victims -- Do Your Homework -- Create an Alternative -- Speak Up -- Lobby Leaders -- Look Long Range -- Teach Tolerance -- Dig Deeper
