In the midst of the ongoing tension, hate-speech experts, leaders, and survivors of hate crimes from around the globe will convene in Pittsburgh this week for the fourth-annual Eradicate Hate Summit, what organizers call the most comprehensive anti-hate conference in the world.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Laura Esposito: Eradicate Hate Global Summit returns to Pittsburgh with politically fueled violence and hate speech front and center
The Eradicating Hate Global Summit was both eye-opening and empowering. To have so many experts in the field of countering hate, all there sharing their expertise, working towards practical and real world solutions, was incredibly unique. It is this focus on meaningful conversations, answers, and solutions that makes Eradicating Hate so incredibly important. The spread of hate is a wicked problem, and the way Eradicating Hate approaches it is how we are going to solve it.
