Hateful language runs rampant online; Vets Fight Hate is
combating anti-immigrant statements one tweet at a time.
Close to 11% of all U.S. veterans come from an immigrant background. Vets Fight Hate partnered with Southern Poverty Law Center to
urge Americans to think twice before posting hateful rhetoric online. Negative tweets like "immigrants are a disease to this country" or
"learn English or go back to your country" were replied to with personalized, positive video messages from immigrant vets who fought for our country and for the safety of all Americans, including the
haters.
Additionally, visitors to vetsfighthate.com can learn how to get involved. Wing, Grey's Hispanic communications agency, created the
campaign.
