Take five minutes to learn more and spread the word about:

• America’s Immigration Legacy.  Watch the video and learn about our nation’s experience with previous immigrants and our treatment of those communities.  Forward the link to your friends.
• Suspect spokespeople.  Watch the video to learn from the Southern Poverty Law Center about hate groups and vigilantes who have infiltrated the immigration debate.  Forward the link to your friends.
• The role of the media in parroting hate speak.  Watch MediaMatters' video for a look at cable news network shows that provide over-the-top and often inaccurate information about immigration.  Forward the link to your friends.

Take ten minutes to learn more about how hate and intolerance are being advanced:

• Watch The Code Words of Hate to identify the words and messages used to demonize Hispanic immigrants and communities perceived to be immigrant.
• Download the companion document, "Code Words in the Debate."
• Watch "Behind the Veil" to trace the connections between many of the anti-immigrant groups and their ties to White supremacy and hate.
• Learn more about these connections with the help of Campaign for a United America’s FAIR Family Tree, a tool to help journalists, elected officials, and civic and labor leaders understand anti-immigrant networks in the United States.
