Moving Beyond Hate

Dina BrawerJanuary 30, 2019

Hate permeates political discourse and many aspects of our daily experiences. We encounter overt or nuanced forms of hate in the street, in the workplace, and in politics. That hate is even extended to complete strangers, those we fear will impede our agendas or whose opinions we abhor. Although it may feel as though hate-filled speech and experiences are reaching new peaks in intensity, this condition is not new.
