Stop the Hate - Start the Healing
is a community group sponsored by the Stop the Hate Committee of the
West Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy in Charleston, WV
The purpose of the STH Committee is
to reduce hate crimes in West
Virginia
by promote respect and collaboration among different groups.
Our main event is the annual Stop the Hate - Start the
Healing Vigil.
The event is usually held on the second or third Thursday in October at 5pm, at
the Pavilion at Davis Park off of Summers Street between Quarrier and Lee.
We are gathering stories of kindness, respect, and
healing, as well as descriptions of personal commitments and acts of kindness
from individuals across group lines. If you would like to share a story of
healing, or a story where you or someone you know stood up to a mean or hateful
act.
We also have a rapid response email group, so that people
can be informed of group activities that stand up against hate crimes when/if
they occur in our area.
