Experts from around the globe will meet to develop and share solutions to a global escalation of hate-fueled violence
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Eradicate Hate Global Summit will convene global experts and leaders from multiple sectors and professions, who are dedicated to eradicating all forms of hate-fueled violence, with survivors, victims' families, faith leaders, and other community leaders. It emphasizes a collaborative, cross-sector approach to finding innovative and effective solutions to hate-fueled violence and then distributing those solutions across the globe.
This fourth annual summit convenes October 21-23 and will draw attendees from around the world. It occurs against the backdrop of a newly released FBI report detailing that hate crimes in the U.S. are increasing, even while noting a drop in other crimes. Additionally, 2024 is a year that has seen two assassination attempts against a former U.S. President and sometimes violent college protests springing from the Israel/Hamas conflict.
"This could not be a more essential time for everyone to take a moment, take stock, and learn concrete steps they can take to reduce the risk of hate-fueled violence," said Brette Steele, the President of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit. "This year we're focused on concrete tools, tactics, and interventions that anyone can implement to reduce the risk of violence in their communities."
The Summit is also pleased to announce the return of the "Student Summit." It includes students and teachers from 29 school districts across Allegheny County, PA, and the surrounding areas. Approximately 300 young people will spend the day in collaboration with one another to inspire, prepare, and empower them to help their local schools and communities counter all forms of identity-based hate.
