The Essential Guide to Stopping Hate Speech

Being a good ally requires more than thoughts and prayers. It also means challenging accusations, assumptions, and stereotypes that represent hate speech that targets Black people, Asian People, Jewish People, LGBTQ People, Mexican People, Muslims, and Tribespeople, because hate speech justifies hate crimes.

• You're having lunch with a friend. He looks out the window and a trans person walks by. He remarks, ‘Look at that man who thinks he's a woman.

Well done.
