RESOURCES

There are many resources available for individuals who are interested in combating hate and intolerance.  Some of these resources may be particularly helpful to individuals who have been targets of hate speech or victims of hate crimes.  Below is a list of agencies and resources that can be of assistance. The first entries identify organizations in Indiana.  Following that is a brief list of organizations with a national presence.  Finally, you will find a list of resources that might be particularly helpful to educators.
