United Against Hate Week

The United Against Hate Campaign provides communities with a network, support, and resources to respond to and prevent hate and build inclusion and equity for all. Every year during United Against Hate Week, local governments, city leaders, community groups, faith groups, schools, and law enforcement agencies throughout California and across the U.S. plan and participate in rallies, film screenings, art projects, community dialogues, poetry slams, educational sessions, and many other locally designed activities.
