Signs of Solidarity
About LA vs Hate
LA vs Hate brings neighbors together to take a visible stand against hate—right where it happens: in our homes, schools, businesses, and shared community spaces. Through LA vs Hate’s Signs of Solidarity campaign, residents can pick up free lawn signs and bookmarks at LA County Library locations and other neighborhood hubs, turning everyday spaces into messages of belonging and inclusion. These signs, along with posters, murals, and digital tools, are a simple but powerful way to show that everyone belongs here, no matter who they are or where they come from.
Why It Matters
Hate doesn’t happen somewhere else. It happens in our neighborhoods, at our schools, between our neighbors.
- Hate crimes at schools reached a record high, accounting for 11% of all reported hate crimes and nearly half were motivated by race, ethnicity, or national origin.
LA County Library remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing equity, inclusivity, and justice for all. As a trusted community hub, the Library provides access not only to free signage but also to resources and programs that deepen understanding, build connection, and strengthen the resilience of our communities.
