The event is held as part of United Against Hate Week 2024. Civic leaders created United Against Hate in direct response to the sharp rise in expressions of hate in communities. The campaign wants to empower local residents to take action in their local communities and alter the course of this growing intolerance. When cities and their residents work together against hate, respect and civil discourse, embrace the strength of diversity and build inclusive and equitable communities for all.

To join the movement, residents are encouraged to post signs, host events, share stories, attend rallies, and connect with schools and neighborhood civic institutions. For more information, please visit UnitedAgainstHateWeek.org.
