This year, communities across the country found themselves overwhelmed by a number of crises—incidents of hate and violence, but also brutal natural disasters—testing neighborhoods everywhere.
But we also witnessed those same communities rise up to help the bereaved and stand up for their neighbors in times of great distress. From the destruction of Hurricane Sandy to the unimaginable grief of the residents of Oak Creek, WI, people rose up to defend others from both intolerance and offer neighborly support.
As we ring in the New Year, we want to remember those who did their part to stand up to injustice and to lend a helping hand. Thank you for helping us stop hate, together.Standing Up, Speaking Out
