"When we join together in honest conversation, bringing our unique expertise, background, experience, and passion together, we have already made a crucial step toward solving the problem of hate and the hate crimes it gives rise to. Collaboration and sharing what we know are key to dismantling this growing travesty.

Our speakers have been extraordinary and we are beyond greatful for their contribution."

–– Senator Bob Huff
