The Hate Free Zone Washington's mission is to uphold the fundamental
principals of democracy and justice. HFZ supports and mobilizes
targeted immigrant communities and allies to advocate for equality,
dignity and respect. HFZ's work integrates four critical areas that,
when combined, become the catalyst for systemic change: political
advocacy, direct support, community mobilization and education.
HFZ was formed as an immediate response to hate crimes and
discrimination from individuals and government policies targeting
Arabs, Muslims, South Asians and other communities following September
11, 2001.
