The purpose of this manual is to provide those who want to "do something" about hate the something they can do, step by step, not only for the immediate aftermath of a hateful act, but for years to come to improve their community.Our goal here is to provide different organizations in different regions—small rural coalitions, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in larger cities, and everything in between—the best practices to combat hate and hate groups. Some of the strategies are reactive, but the most important ones are proactive—organizing so when hate comes to town, it has a lesser chance of success
