Eradicate Hate Global Summit
Our History The Eradicate Hate Global Summit was formed to honor the lives lost in the largest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. On October 27, 2018, a gunman motivated by hate ideologies murdered 11 Jews and injured others worshipping at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. The Tree of Life synagogue is in Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood, home to places of worship for all faiths and denominations as well as to generations of Jewish families. When such an horrific massacre can occur there, it can happen anywhere. And it has, in Buffalo, El Paso, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Orlando, and Uvalde, to name a few. The Eradicate Hate Global Summit is a vehicle for worldwide action. It held its first conference in Fall 2021 during the COVID pandemic, and almost 100 speakers from around the globe attended. The second conference in September 2022 attracted almost 300 speakers and over 2,400 people attended either in person or virtually. The Summit’s annual conferences have drawn the world’s leading anti-hate experts, including high-ranking officials from the U.S. Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and State, the National Center for Counterterrorism, and the White House as well as officials from state and local governments. International participants include the United Nations Special Advisor on Prevention of Genocide along with government representatives, civil society organizations, and researchers from around the globe, including Australia, Canada, Europe, UK, and New Zealand. The Summit also draws representatives from tech companies; federal, state, and local law enforcement; the military and veterans; lawyers; doctors, psychologists, social workers and other mental health experts; educators and students; journalists and film-makers; former members of hate groups; and, most importantly, hate crime survivors and the families of victims. The Eradicate Hate Global Summit now stands as the most comprehensive anti-hate conference in the world
