Led by young people and educators, the goal is as simple as it is ambitious: stand up against bigotry and create safe and welcoming schools for all.

** Dear John,
------------------------------------------------------------
At Teaching Tolerance, we care about ways students can strengthen their capacity to thrive in an increasingly diverse democracy. This year, we are pleased to introduce the #USvsHate challenge ([link removed]) .
First developed and piloted by educators in San Diego, #USvsHate is an educator- and student-led initiative to amplify student voice and push back against the messages of bias, bigotry and hate so common in our public discourse.
To participate in the #USvsHate challenge, educators can follow three easy steps:
1. Select and teach anti-hate lessons.
2. Ask students to create anti-hate messages based on their learning.
3. Share the messages across your school community—and enter them in the #USvsHate challenge.
We’ll select artwork to feature on our social media accounts, and selected pieces will be professionally reproduced and distributed as free posters to all participating classrooms.
The #USvsHate challenge closes on March 20 and is already accepting online submissions ([link removed]) . Educators can submit up to three entries per month—and will receive a free set of One World posters ([link removed]) for the first submission.
If you’re looking for a way students can engage with critical social justice issues while developing their own creative voices as advocates for change, we hope you’ll join the #USvsHate challenge.
We can’t wait to hear what your students have to say.
