STAND Convening: Just a Symbol?
Join us for an important community training and discussion with District Attorney Michael Dougherty, Deputy Regional Director of the ADL Jeremy Shaver, and other community members focused on recognizing, responding to, and standing up to hate in our public spaces and online, particularly hate directed toward Jewish individuals and communities. DA Dougherty will also cover some of the changes to the hate crime laws in Colorado and practical tools to fight against antisemitism.
At this convening, we will also hear from local students, school leaders and regional partners about hate symbols and hate speech, the work already underway in our region, and how we can move forward together as a community. The event will provide a critical forum for learning, dialogue and action. Participants will gain better understanding of how hate symbols operate, how they impact individuals and communities, and how residents of Northwest Colorado can build more resilient, inclusive environments.
