No Place for Hate®
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors – The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado, The David and Laura Merage Foundation, and Qwest Communications – this campaign continues to be free to schools in Colorado and Wyoming. Thanks also to our supporters, The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation. No Place for Hate® was developed to organize schools to work together and develop projects that enhance the appreciation of diversity and foster harmony amongst diverse groups. The campaign empowers schools to promote respect for individual and group differences while challenging prejudice and bigotry. Every day we make choices. We can choose to let anti-Semitism, racism, and other forms of bigotry go unchallenged and potentially escalate, or we can choose to confront the bias that we see in our workplaces, homes, schools, and communities. As our world becomes smaller and our schools and communities more diverse, it is more critical than ever to actively build bridges to cross-cultural understanding and mutual respect. |
