Congratulations to the Center for Preventing Hate in Portland, Maine, which is celebrating this week its first decade of education and outreach against prejudice and discrimination.
Founder and executive Stephen Wessler (pictured), Maine's former assistant attorney, has led programs in 25 states and nine foreign countries. Recently he created and led a hate-crime-response training session in Poland for activists from 30 different countries. Wessler also took part in the 2006 Not In Our Town National Gathering in Bloomington, IL.
Here's to another decade of good works, Stephen!
