Founder's message:
Hate crimes are criminal actions intended to harm or intimidate people because of their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. Whether it's a crime based on ethnicity, race or sexual orientation, hate crimes are an insult to humanity. We all need to remember - all human beings are born free and entitled to all the rights and freedoms without distinction of any race, color, religion, sex, nationality, etc.
Hate doesn’t bring a peaceful solution to any situation, which I realized after I became a victim of a hate crime because of the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center tragedy. This single incident changed my entire life and helped me to realize that hate only brings fear, misery, resentment and disaster into human lives. It creates obstacles to healthy human growth, which, in turn, diminishes society as a whole.
To live in a better and peaceful world, we need to break the cycle of hate and violence. I believe forgiveness is the best policy, which helps to break this cycle.
Practice compassion, forgiveness, and healing.
