Take Action
|
As a person concerned about the increase in hate speech in media, we ask that you join NHMC's efforts by taking action. Write to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), your federal elected officials, the networks and the advertisers that are supporting these programs and let them know that hate speech is not free speech and it needs to stop.
