Voice 1

Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Liz Waid.

Voice 2

And I'm Ryan Geertsma. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.

Voice 3

"We were not going to sit back and watch this thing go on. We wanted to react. We wanted people to know about our protest."

Voice 2

This quote is from Swapnil Gupta. He is a student from New Delhi, India. He is part of a group with 31 other students. They are speaking up against a deep divide between the people of their country.

Voice 1

In 2003, a small group of these students in India came together. They saw unrest and separation in their country. The people were not living in peace with each other. The students wanted to encourage their culture to reunite. They wanted to show people how to live in peace and harmony together. Shabnam Hashmi had established a different group called "Act Now for Harmony and Democracy." Using her experience, she helped the small group of students. They organized and increased the size of their group. Together, they decided that the best method for spreading their message was to speak up. They wanted to spread their message to as many people as they could.

Voice 2

The students travelled to many different cities in India to spread their message. They told their message to the local news stations. They attended meetings and peace rallies. The students spoke to these large groups of people. They told about the dangerous effects of hate on a community. They told about encouraging love and peace in a community. They knew that speaking up was an effective way to spread their message.

Voice 1

Today's Spotlight program is the sixth in a series of ten programs. In this series of programs we are looking at ten ways to fight hate.

Voice 2

Hate is powerful enough to destroy people and communities. So Tolerance.org has made this list of ten ways to fight hate in your community. On today's Spotlight program we will look at the sixth way to fight hate in your community: Speak Up.

Voice 1

The students in New Delhi succeeded in spreading their message of peace to many communities in India. Many people listened to the students' message. But some did. In one city, a group of political activists attacked the students. But the students remained firm in their message for peace and harmony. In fact, the attack made them work harder to spread their message.

Voice 2

Tolerance.org believes that people can spread tolerance by SPEAKING UP like these students did. Tolerance means accepting people no matter who they are or what they believe. It means respecting every person equally.

Voice 1

It is easy to stay quiet in a difficult situation. No one wants to be a target of violence or hate. It is difficult to speak up when it seems everyone else has a different opinion. But there are many different ways to speak up. You can speak up by giving out information. Information can encourage tolerance. You can research facts about the effects of hate on a community. "Do your homework" and write a report on hate groups in your area. Tell about their signs and symbols, and their beliefs. Contact your local police. Ask them for information about fighting hate groups. You can also research peace efforts in your community. Work with groups that fight hate in your area. Ask them for information. Put all this information together into one document. Then spread this information to everyone you know!

Voice 2

You can spread this or any information about tolerance at your school, the place where you worship, or on your website. You can bring information to the people who live near you. Offer to talk with them about tolerance and hate.

Voice 1

Tolerance.org believes that communicating with the media in your area is also very important - that is, radio, television, newspapers and magazines. Tolerance.org says that hate groups often receive a lot of interest from normal news sources like these. A television news station may report on a hate group's rally or event. Or, a news source may report a violent hate incident. But at the same time, the news source may not report on a peace rally, or celebration of cultures. They may not correctly identify a violent hate incident as a hate based incident.

Voice 2

So, you can also speak up by calling or writing to your local radio or television station, and your local newspapers or magazines. Ask them to tell the FULL story behind hate or hate based incidents. Ask reporters to educate their readers and listeners about hate. Ask them to also report on peace rallies and events that celebrate different cultures. Ask them to spend as much time reporting on these events as they do on hate events.

Voice 1

Tolerance.org suggests that the media is very important to spreading a message against hate. At the beginning of this program we told about a group of students from New Delhi, India. They travelled around their country spreading a message against hate. They saw a problem in their culture. So, they decided to fight it by speaking out against hate. The media reported on the actions of the students. The media spread the message even farther than the students could alone.

Voice 2

Many people around the world do not want hate in their communities. Every person has a right to share their opinion. So, good people must speak up against the beliefs and hateful actions of hate groups. It is important to spread the truth: hate threatens communities.

Voice 1

Speak up. Help your community to see hate for what it really is. (Speak up.) Encourage your local radio and television news stations to report hate incidents and peace rallies correctly and fairly. (Speak up.) Write to your local newspapers and magazines. Encourage them to look closely at efforts to fight hate. (Speak up.) You have the power to change your community. Speak up!

Voice 2

This is the sixth program in a series of ten programs on ten ways to fight hate. This list is from Tolerance.org. Here are Tolerance.org's ten ways to fight hate.

Act, Unite, Support the Victims, Do Your Homework, Create an Alternative, Speak Up, Lobby Leaders, Look Long Range, Teach Tolerance, and Dig Deeper.

Voice 1
