Please see activities below, compiled by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
Actions That You Can Take To Stop White Supremacy And Stand Up For Civil And Human Rights
1. Demand President Trump fire Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka. Sign The Leadership Conference petition here: http://bit.ly/2uGTRkk
2. Stop credit card companies from allowing white supremacists to sell their hate-based products and message online. Learn more about the #NoBloodMoney campaign here: http://bit.ly/2uGAzMj
3. Take ‘Em All Down. Symbols of hate and oppression are naming our schools and scattered throughout parks, capitol buildings and public places. This campaign seeks to remove Confederate monuments and symbols: http://bit.ly/2wc64wX
4. Call your state legislator (if you live in FL, MA, MO, NC, ND, RI, NT, or TX) and tell them to protect the protesters. Free speech and the right to peaceably assemble are among the cornerstones of our democracy. Several states recently introduced legislation that harms protesters by protecting the terrorists who attack protesters. 5. Find your state legislator here: https://openstates.org
 5. Join a solidarity event near you. Check out Indivisible’s event guide here: http://bit.ly/2vxhXLR
6. Participate in the Movement for Black Lives (#MB4L) August 19th Day of Action. Check out more information about the upcoming day of action here: https://policy.m4bl.org/.
7. Share your story through Communities Against Hate. If you or someone you know has experienced or witnessed a hate incident, please encourage them to share their story with www.CommunitiesAgainstHate.org or the hotline (1-844-9-NO-HATE or 1-844-966-4283).
