United Against Hate Week
2025-10-19 - 2025-10-25 | CA
United Against Hate was created by civic leaders in direct response to the sharp rise in expressions of hate in our communities. This movement wants to empower local residents to take action in their local communities and alter the course of this growing intolerance.
When cities and their residents work together against hate, they can restore respect and civil discourse, embrace the strength of diversity and build inclusive and equitable communities for all.
Signs can be posted, events hosted, stories shared, rallies attended and schools connected to resources. Nothing is too small, because working united in each community is what will defeat hate in all communities.
United Against Hate Week (October 19-25, 2025) is a call for seven days of local civic action by people in every community to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of neighborhoods, towns and cities.
