United Against Hate Week (October 18-24, 2026) is an opportunity for neighbors and communities to come together around a simple idea: everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and welcome where they live.
Throughout the week, residents, schools, local organizations, and community institutions are encouraged to find meaningful opportunities to strengthen connection. Small actions can make a real difference, whether it's posting a sign, sharing a story, starting a conversation, or participating in a community activity.
Join us and be part of it! Learn more at unitedagainsthateweek.org.
