It seems silly for humans to hate something they do not even understand yet every day we hear reports of more innocent victims. What can we do to stop hate crimes? Here is a list of points to consider when getting involved, and on forming local efforts to help put an end to these horrors.
Take action. The first step is to start talking with your friends and neighbors and coworkers about this subject and impress on them that the people in the community must stand up and bring an end to these horrors. Create a page or group on social media that includes a public calendar feature so everyone can log in and find out what is scheduled. Establish a weekly meeting to keep people involved and excited about doing their part to end these crimes.
Do your homework. Most court cases have records on file at the local courthouse but do not rely on these as sometimes you find the records sealed. Your best source of information is the other people involved, such as friends and relatives of the victim and the victim themselves. It is important to know what led up to the hate crime.
Take other members with you, so they present a united front when speaking with people of authority. Remind them that your group is more than just watching the neighborhood. It intends to provide real help in addressing these horrid crimes and show them your calendar to prove the determination of your group.
Alternative behavior works well in preventing any crimes, but small children are especially interested in something fun to do. They have an adult family member with them which gets that adult involved in your mission. Plan competitive activities for all ages and include crafts, sports, and intellectual activities like Spelling Bees. Keep the long range goals in sight. Good ideas and plans must continue if there is any hope of changing the way haters think and behave. Consider putting up billboards with clever messages that make people think twice about just how important someone else's beliefs are to the greater scheme of things.
By all means, speak up! Whenever there is a mention of hate crimes, use the opportunity to present information about what your group does and the successes it has. Teach tolerance to all ages of people, especially the children because it takes a while to cause prejudiced beliefs in their minds.
No cause continues if the victims go unattended. You must find organizations who help deal with these issues, and make sure medical and legal services are easy to obtain. Lobby your leaders to enact laws and dig deeper into the issues for new revelations concerning where and how hate begins.
Bullies do not always commit hate crimes. Sometimes they start out with a simple difference of opinion and escalate into a full-blown confrontation. The root of the problem lies in belief systems taught at home. Enlightenment is the answer, and that includes presentations designed to get the point across that law abiding citizens will no longer tolerate this type of violence.
