Support SOAH - Speak Out Against Hate and its mission to serve communities in Delaware.

If you are not against hate, are you for it?  Help support our efforts to eradicate hate in the Diamond State.

SOAH, a recently created social justice organization in Sussex County Delaware, is seeking funds for scholarships to students who are actively working to raise awareness of bullying and are anti-hate.   In addition, in order to communicate most effectively, we need a robust website  and webmaster to expand its ability to engage all people of good faith, community leaders, businesses, elected officials, clergy, law enforcement, young, old, regardless of color, creed, sexual orientation, national origin or religion.  It was following several hate incidences in Sussex County and the rise in incidences that the idea of forming SOAH was conceived.  SOAH's mission is to speak out early, often and follow-up on the rising incidents and expressions of hate and join forces in this effort with all similarly motivated individuals and organizations.

SOAH has hosted 8 Community Meetings in the past 13 months, bringing education and information to the community with leaders in the community engaging in productive and solution-seeking dialog.  Topics ranged from panel discussions with elected officials and community leaders as to how they are dealing with rising hate crimes, to the flying of the Confederate flag in Georgetown, to local journalists discussing how media impacts readers views and their work to write unbiased articles to inform the public on current events.  Most recently we showed Not In Our Town - a film on how one small town fought hate with coming together to support and learn about each other rather than give up.  A lively moderated discussion with Radio Rehoboth's Jeff Balk followed.
Our next meeting is April 10th at the Lewes Library 6:00-7:30 p.m. both in person and via Zoom.

SOAH's 5 Action Committees have been meeting with members of all facets of the community, including clergy, Police officials, school officials, Business leaders and legislators.  SOAH has authored several Letters to the Editor in local newspapers and been interviewed on news programs when incidents of hate/hate crimes have affected our community, seeking the support of the proper officials to follow up on such incidents.

SOAH seeks to make "No Hate Here" a reality in Delaware and all who are against hate are welcome to join SOAH.  Donations are extremely necessary as we are member funded. 

No donation is too small - please help us grow so that one day soon, "No Place for Hate" in Delaware is a model for all states.  We may be small, but we are mighty!
