#ReportHate

A Muslim woman I know from my childhood neighborhood posted today about being harassed. It's hard to tell if it happened recently or in the past but she felt inclined to use her example to encourage people to report incidents. She included a link to the Southern Poverty Law Center's form for reporting hateful intimidation and harassment. I think we should all keep this resource in mind but also do our very best to not stand idly by if we witness something. It's a terrifying thing to consider but important. It's easy to avoid getting involved--I know that's my reflex reaction to difficult situations--but I will remind myself that people being harassed do not want to be involved either, they just have no choice.
