About
The Global Summit provides a unique, multidisciplinary forum to share ideas and build working relationships to drive the development and deployment of effective solutions to reduce hate-fueled violence.
How it Started
Eradicate Hate was born out of the October 2018 massacre at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. It was an attack motivated by anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant hatred that ultimately led to the tragic shooting deaths of 11 people. Sadly, it became the deadliest anti-Semitic event in U.S. history.
Eradicate Hate’s organizers refused to be defined as victims of hate. Instead, we resolved to use the Tree of Life attack as motivation to launch the most significant anti-hate rule of law initiative in the world. Although firmly rooted in combating anti-Semitism, Eradicate Hate and the annual Eradicate Hate Global Summit bring together multi-disciplinary global experts and leaders who are committed to the global eradication of all forms of hate-fueled violence.
From the beginning, Eradicate Hate has been dedicated to bringing together survivors, the families of victims, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and experts from around the globe to go beyond dialogue and find effective solutions to this global challenge. Together, we aim to ensure that no community has to go through an attack like the massacre at Tree of Life in our Pittsburgh community.
A distinguishing feature of the Summit is that it goes beyond dialogue in the collective pursuit of solutions by uniting experts and leaders from around the globe.
By bringing together the best and the brightest and providing an ongoing Working Group structure, we hope to develop workable solutions. The Summit incentivizes experts to work collaboratively across disciplines, across institutions, and across borders between each annual gathering, to deliver actual, lasting, and measurable change.
At each annual Summit, the Working Groups will present the results of their year-long work and will plot the specific ongoing work for the year to come.
Our agenda spotlights the magnitude of our vision and the fact that we continue to amass an extraordinary group to address these critical issues.
We believe our collective work reflects a shared conviction that makes the Summit unique. By coming together each year, we will continue to bring effective change to the way we combat hate-fueled violence. We invite you to join us.
Our Next Chapter
Since 2022, Global Summit participation has more than doubled. We have made great strides during this time in our efforts to prevent all forms of hate-fueled violence.
Today, we are more than an annual summit. Eradicate Hate is a non-partisan organization providing comprehensive, year-round programs – such as the Prevention Practitioners Network and UP End Hate – that meet people where they are and give them the tools to play a role in reducing hate-fueled violence. Eradicate Hate has also launched new resources like the Reach Out Resource Hub, connecting people at risk of committing an act of violence, their loved ones, and survivors of hate-fueled violent attacks with the support they need.
As an organization, Eradicate Hate has evolved from an all-volunteer effort to an independent 501(c)(3) charitable corporation led by a professional team with decades of experience preventing hate-fueled violence. We expanded year-round programming to encompass over a dozen working groups and four programs. Eradicate Hate is reaching new communities, forging new partnerships, and equipping individuals with the tools to confront and prevent hate-fueled violence in their own communities.
