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.
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:
- Select and teach anti-hate lessons.
- Ask students to create anti-hate messages based on their learning.
- 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. Educators can submit up to three entries per month—and will receive a free set of One World posters 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.
Teaching Tolerance
