The U.S. State Department is holding a town hall discussion today on U.S. efforts to combat discrimination and hatred against Jews, Muslims, and others, as part of the 2011 Hours Against Hate campaign. Tad Stahnke, Director of Policy and Programs at Human Rights First, will join as a panelist along with Hannah Rosenthal, Special Envoy To Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, and Farah Pandith, Special Representative to Muslim Communities. Watch the live stream on C-Span, which starts at 2pm EST, April 29. 2011 Hours Against Hate is a campaign to stop bigotry and promote respect across lines of culture, religion, tradition, class, and gender. Launched by Special Representative to Muslim Communities Farah Pandith, and Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Hannah Rosenthal, the State Department is asking young people around the world to pledge their time to stop hate—to do something for someone who doesn’t look like you, pray like you, or live like you. We are asking the next generation to work together to build a stronger, more prosperous world.
