Homeland Security’s assessment finally acknowledges the threat white supremacist violence poses to not only historically marginalized communities but to American democracy as a whole.

[James Byrd Jr. Center to Stop Hate @jamesbyrdcenter]

The federal government must do more to not only condemn white supremacist violence but to prevent it from happening in the first place. This acknowledgement is an important first step in combating hate and creating safer communities.

Emmett, like hundreds of other lynching victims, never received justice. We urge the Senate to pass the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Bill and right the historic and present day wrongs of racial violence. Learn ways to support at @EmmettTillTalks

65 years ago today, Emmett Till was brutally lynched by two white men. At only 14 years old, his murder demonstrated the cruelty of white supremacist violence. We also remember the activism of his mother, Mamie Till, who took her pain and decided to change the nation.

We remember Heather Heyer, the civil rights activist who lost her life defending historically marginalized communities at the Unite the Right Rally. Her stance against hate is a reminder to all of us to continue fighting against bigotry. Learn more at @HeatherHeyerF

Three years ago, white supremacists attempted to divide this country with hate at the Unite the Right Rally. Communities banded together to reject their message and prove that #LoveisGreaterthanHate

Today, we remember the tragedy in Oak Creek, WI, when a shooter with white supremacist ties opened fire at a Sikh gurdwara (house of worship), murdering six and permanently injuring several more. We stand in solidarity with Sikhs nationwide to #RememberOakCreek.

@Twitter has ban David Duke for violating their guidelines on hate speech. Duke is also in violation of @Directnic TOS. We've called on the website registrar to do the same and take a stand against white supremacy and hate.

Too often, Black women and girls are forgotten in the discussion of police brutality and their deaths are not uplifted. Today we remember Breonna Taylor who would be celebrating her 27th birthday this weekend. In her honor we will continue to fight for justice.
