"... The SPLC’s decades-long research monitoring hate and extremism reveals a clear pattern of increased hate activity during times of national crisis. The #COVID19 pandemic is such a time. ...
"From the escalating attack and scapegoating of members of the Asian and Asian American community to so-called “zoom-bombing” of video conferences that unleash anti-Black, anti-LGBTQ and antisemitic vitriol, purveyors of hate are seeking to sow discord and threaten our democracy.
"... Let’s rise against hate together and condemn antisemitism and all forms of bigotry. Hate is a real threat to our democracy and shared humanity." - SPLC's Lecia Brooks
