Allied Against Hate: A Toolkit for Faith CommunitiesEvery day across our nation, countless faith leaders from diverse traditions are working together to counter hate and promote peace with justice. Religious leaders and faith communities are well-positioned to use their moral authority to de-escalate conflict, foster respect for the inherent dignity of every human being, and point communities toward hope and healing. We are deeply
grateful to these leaders for their work and for sharing their wisdom with us. This toolkit describes practical steps faith communities can take to prevent acts of hate, discrimination, and
bias, and to demonstrate solidarity with targeted communities if such acts tragically do occur.
This document fulfills one of the more than 100 commitments made by the federal government in the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, released in May 2023. In the
strategy, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships—in cooperation with federal agency Centers for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and diverse faith leaders—pledged to produce a toolkit for faith communities on standing in
solidarity to counter antisemitism and other forms of hate.
