Eradicate Hate believes that we all have a role in preventing hate-fueled violence.
Rooted in the aftermath of the deadliest antisemitic shooting in the United States, Eradicate Hate has grown from an annual Global Summit to a nonprofit providing comprehensive, year-round programs all working toward one common goal – to find practical solutions to prevent hate-fueled violence.
Our History
Eradicate Hate was born out of the October 2018 massacre at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. Antisemitic hatred motivated the tragic shooting deaths of 11 Jewish worshippers during Shabbat services.
Eradicate Hate’s founders refused to be defined as victims of hate. Instead, we resolved to use the Tree of Life attack as motivation to launch the world’s most significant initiative to prevent hate-fueled violence.
From the beginning, Eradicate Hate has been dedicated to bringing together survivors, the families of victims, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and experts from around the globe to go beyond dialogue and find effective solutions to this global challenge. Together, we aim to ensure that no community has to go through what the Pittsburgh community went through.
Where We Are Today
Eradicate Hate is a non-partisan organization providing comprehensive programs – such as the Prevention Practitioners Network (PPN) and UP End Hate – that meet people where they are and give them tools to help reduce hate-fueled violence. Eradicate Hate has also launched new resources like the Reach Out Resource Hub, connecting people at risk of committing an act of violence, their loved ones, and survivors of hate-fueled violent attacks with the support they need.
The Eradicate Hate Global Summit is the world’s most comprehensive conference to prevent hate-fueled violence, bringing together global experts across disciplines every year in Pittsburgh.
As an organization, Eradicate Hate has evolved from an all-volunteer effort to an independent 501(c)(3) charitable corporation led by a professional team with decades of experience preventing hate-fueled violence. Eradicate Hate’s programming has expanded to encompass over a dozen working groups and four programs. It is reaching new communities, forging new partnerships, and equipping individuals with the tools to confront and prevent hate-fueled violence in their own backyards.
As the threat of hate-fueled violence has grown, so has Eradicate Hate expanded to tackle this global crisis.
The growth of Eradicate Hate occurred in the context of growing threats of hate-fueled violence and targeted violence more generally highlighting the urgency for our work.
