Resource: 10 Ways to Fight Hate – A Community Response Guide

10 Ways to Fight Hate

Another great resource created by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

This is an image that’s in the book that breaks my heart but reminds me of the quote by Nelson Mandela, “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” (we have the colorsheet)

A Parent’s Guide to Preventing and Responding to Prejudice

Beyond the Golden Rule: A Parent’s Guide to Preventing and Responding to Prejudice (click on the link to download for FREE) is another great publication produced by Teaching Tolerance. The four part book is broken down by age group: Preschool Years, Elementary & Preteen Years, The Teen Years and Part 4: Reflecting Upon Our Own Biases.  LOTS of great information!

Speak Up! Responding to Everyday Bigotry

SPEAK UP!

Your brother routinely makes anti-Semitic comments. Your neighbor uses the N-word in casual conversation. Your co-worker ribs you about your Italian surname, asking if you’re in the mafia. Your classmate insults something by saying, “That’s so gay.”

And you stand there, in silence, thinking, “What can I say in response to that?” Or you laugh along, uncomfortably. Or, frustrated or angry, you walk away without saying anything, thinking later, “I should have said something.”

People spoke about encounters in stores and restaurants, on streets and in schools. They spoke about family, friends, classmates and co-workers. They spoke about what they did or didn’t say — and what they wished they did or didn’t say.

And no matter the location or relationship, the stories echo each other.

Speak Up! is a book that shares love, insight and pain, but also offers “lost words”, practical solutions and hope for a better tomorrow.
