Every school community can help spread the message that all community members are part of “US.”
We seek to unite schools and communities against hate, bias, and injustice by catalyzing learning and public messaging.
By amplifying “anti-hate” youth voices in schools and publicly, we seek to empower students to build schools and a society where all belong, feel included, and get supported.
We define “hate” as any time people denigrate, disrespect, or harm an individual or group as if their identity makes them an inferior or less valuable type of person.
Our messages insist publicly that all people are equally valuable.
In schools, #USvsHate can start with as little as two class periods or club meetings. Using our lessons or their own resources, educators invite students to create public anti-hate messages in any media for their school communities and beyond. Students can also make and submit #USvsHate messages on their own. Other youth-serving community organizations can do #USvsHate too!
Then, submit entries to our national challenge. Teachers or community educators can submit up to five student-made entries per class, per challenge. Students can submit messages directly to our challenges, too.
We then amplify youth voices into schools and community spaces nationwide, featuring top entries online and on posters and stickers sent back to participants submitting entries.
