Eradicate Hate:
2022

Zeneta Everhart is the mother of Zaire Goodman, a grocery store worker who survived the tragic shooting at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo on May 14, 2022.

In June, Ms. Everhart testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform about the need to address hate and gun violence. Since the shooting, Ms. Everhart and her son have organized a book drive that garnered almost 10,000 donated books to teach future generations about racism, diversity and inclusion. She is the Director of Diversity and Inclusion for New York State Senator Tim Kennedy.

My network of professionals working on countering hate in all its forms grew exponentially after attending Eradicate Hate in 2021. The myriad voices represented at Eradicate Hate, from big tech companies to academic researchers to those with lived experience, reinforced to me the importance of cross-cutting and collaborative approaches to counter hate and its devastating impacts on society. I’ve been fortunate to sustain and build those networks with many of those I met at Eradicate Hate in 2021.
