Be a light in dark places.
We are a mini-United Nations of backgrounds and colors. We have no place left for bigotry and hate-mongering. I know people lash out like this when they are afraid. So -- we need to have our leaders speak to this, and help people be less afraid and pulling together.
This is one way to confront this -- http://colorofchange.org/cgi-bin/py/hate-petition.py. They are sending letters to National Republican figures to demand they confront the Republican extremists and call them on their behavior. Here's a portion of the letter you can send from their site. Unfortunately, you cannot edit the letter, but you can add to it.
A portion is at my Live Journal, but may not pass through to other sites. You may need to go to http://alfreda89.livejournal.com to see the rest. So -- if inclined, this is a bit simpler than starting from scratch. Or -- if you have time, borrow some of theirs, write the rest yourself, and send independently, which will have even more of an impact.
