How We Work
CFS and our partners are uniting communities of all identities in the fight against hate.
Partnering with Communities
We help partner organizations representing all kinds of identity groups educate and activate their communities against hate—empowering them with a voice and a unified front against those who want to keep them afraid and isolated.
Building Trust
Hate groups and individuals rely on making their targets feel alone and powerless—unable to lean on each other, and eroding trust in law enforcement. By bringing communities together, we’re opening new lines of communication, creating new connections and rebuilding trust.
Community Leaders Wanted
We’re creating an inclusive solution to stopping hate and regaining freedom and safety for all.
Our Programs
Resources for identity groups, allies and everyone who wants to stand up to hate in America.
Independent Research
We conduct in-house analysis, combined with public reporting and behind-the-scenes intelligence to get the most comprehensive insights that community leaders need to know.
