Taylor A. Dumpson is a nationally recognized anti-hate advocate and attorney with a background in education law, criminal justice, hate crimes, and civil litigation. Dumpson was deemed a “Uniter” by President Biden during the White House’s United We Stand Summit on hate-filled violence in 2022, for her work combatting hate and sharing her experience as a hate crimes survivor.
Dumpson earned her B.A. in Law and Society with a concentration in Social Science from American University and her J.D. with a concentration in Rights and the State from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
Dumpson began her legal career at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, as a Fellow and later Associate Counsel, and currently serves as Special Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division of the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office.
To me, Eradicate Hate was the most important gathering of 2021 for those of us who work on issues related to domestic extremism and organized hate. The Summit uniquely combined a variety of perspectives, including experts, civil society representatives, politicians and policymakers, and the families and loved ones of victims. Eradicate Hate has the important mission of standing against the rising tide of hate and extremism in our society, and it’s an honor to be able to support this mission.
