Working Against Hate

Suggested Best Practices for Working Against Hate in a college community: 

—stand by our values, expressed in the college Principles of Community, embedded here http://www.gavilan.edu/about/index.php,  and make these values visible in what we do

—encourage students and staff alike to think critically about groups which may cloak their hate messages in less incendiary language than other alt right groups
 
—read, discuss, and atttend programs that help us learn more about what hate groups say, do, and advocate
Some resources to start with:
Best starting place: Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map and HateWatch https://www.splcenter.org  
Also: Southern Poverty Law Center’s informative, provocative introduction to the group that fliered at Gavilan and the Gilroy Library  https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/identity-evropa
 
Ideas for response: Ten Ways to Fight Hate by the Southern Poverty Law Center https://www.splcenter.org/20170814/ten-ways-fight-hate-community-response-guide 
 
Teaching Tolerance resources from people who have been doing that for many years: https://www.tolerance.org, especially https://www.tolerance.org/topics/race-ethnicity
 
U.S. Law Enforcement Failed to See the Threat of White Nationalism. Now They Don’t Know How to Stop It. NYTimes Magazine 2018 
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/03/magazine/FBI-charlottesville-white-nationalism-far-right.html
American Swastika by Pete Simi and Robert Futrell—an engaging, often painful account by sociologists who penetrated California white supremacist groups, and what they found, from how children are raised in white supremacist families to how the groups recruit.
