Taking a Stand Against Hate

To put a stop to hate crimes and bias incidents and create a safe, welcoming environment for everyone, Oregon passed a new Hate and Bias Crimes Law. We helped bring attention to it with a series of videos, highlighting the diverse faces, first-hand experiences and heartfelt voices of community members, emphatically saying, “We’re taking a stand together against hate.”
