HATE SPEECH HURTS

Did you know that our children will see 100,000 acts of violence on television in the next 10 years? Violence in media can desensitize people and make violence in real life seem more acceptable. The So We Might See Coalition’s Media Violence Fast encourages families to take a stand against violent media by making a conscious decision not to watch it — and to seek other methods of entertainment and intellectual stimulation.

This year’s focus for meditation and social action is anti-immigrant hate speech, which employs flawed arguments to appeal to fears rather than facts. We hope you will sign up to participate in the 2009 Media Violence Fast, and join us as we take action to end this destructive form of violence.
