Student teams across the U.S. have localized what it means to counter hate and extremism in each of their communities, then activated, measured campaigns for effectiveness.
On Monday the Anti-Defamation League announced three student teams from U.S. universities who will advance to the final competition in Washington, D.C., on June 12 for the pilot run of the ADL: Innovate Against Hate program.
Chosen as “best of the best” from 19 participating teams representing 16 states, the finalist teams hail from Boise State University, University of Maryland (College Park), and University of Nebraska (Omaha), and each have focused on slightly different interpretations for how to best counter hate and extremism at the local level.
The ADL: Innovate Against Hate program challenges student teams to design and implement social or digital initiatives with the goal of countering hate and extremism while promoting values of fairness, equity and inclusion.
Each of these teams will be competing for top honors and $5,000, $3,000 and $1,000 cash prizes next Tuesday in Washington, with the winning order announced on-site.
