EVERYONE has experienced hate, in some way, the victims are different, but hate affects us all. America's very future depends on how we address this issue and how we educate our children, and in turn their children, about how hate and the devastating effects of it can destroy. Hate is the social cancer that has consumed and divided all of us. Not everyone hates each other. Our example should reflect that belief. By seeing it, wearing it, and living it.

STOP HATE

is an acronym and our mission.

START TURNING OFF PREJUDICE

HEAL ATTITUDES THROUGH EDUCATION

At StopHate, we encourage everyone to get involved and be a part of this attitude change, from individuals to big business. If your first response is to find another path towards a positive outcome, you are already on our team.

You can help StopHate by simply wearing your good attitude. StopHate Gear is a practical alternative to everyday clothing and products, and a perfect way to spread a positive message. Please wear your StopHate Gear at rallies, to school or work, community and sporting events, and of course, in everyday use. Find something that you can use to address hate in your own world, gear up, and wear it out!

Our goal is to help STOP HATE through awareness and educational campaigns. This is a call to action. Join us in the fight against Hate. We are not trying to force our views on anyone. Please respect our freedoms as much as we do yours. We just want everyone to realize that ignoring the hate-induced actions we see around us is just as dangerous as running a stop sign- injury, ruined lives, fatalities.

David Sumrall created StopHate in 1992 as a result of the L.A. Riots to bridge the divide and bring peace and healing, through educating people of the division supported by the media, with a focus on communication and community. We have participated in peaceful protests, rallies, and community meetings to help open communication and educate people that not everyone chooses hate as a first response. In the mid-90s we stood against groups including the KKK, and rhetoric against certain leaders in groups including the Nation of Islam. Fast-forward to now, weve been active in local communities, and developing relationships with other social media influencers to build a bigger team, pool resources, spread our message to a bigger audience, and organize toward what our vision of victory looks like.

No one program can address every need of each person who has experienced hate individually. But we can learn to pay attention to anyone trying to seek help or express themselves about how it has affected them. Programs are good to bring people together, but many times the individual gets lost in the crowd and doesn't always get the support they would like or need in a one-on-one setting.
