#HolocaustRemembranceDay 
is both a crushing reminder of everyone and everything we lost — and another opportunity to consider that the same hate is resurgent today.

They both passed away years ago and, in some ways, I’m grateful that they didn’t have to witness Charlottesville. Or Pittsburgh. Or Poway. Or El Paso. Or the Capitol.
Today’s parallels with the past can consume you. It’s so easy to feel helpless and hopeless. (2/)

But here’s the difference: unlike my grandparents’ generation, we still have a justice system and a rule of law that’s meant to protect us. And we can use them to fight back.

This fall, we’re putting the leaders of the neo-Nazi & white supremacist movement on trial for their racist violence in Charlottesville. At a time when justice and accountability are sorely lacking, our case provides a model for how to take on and undermine these extremists. (4/)
Of course so much needs to happen, in addition to real accountability: federal, state, & local gov’t action; social media, web hosting, & domain registration companies taking responsibility; investment in NGOs like us and the many others doing the work to counter extremism. (5/)
But we know what the path forward looks like and we finally have a White House that’s calling out the crisis and taking initial steps, rather than throwing fuel on the fire. https://www.integrityfirstforamerica.org/newsroom/ifa-statement-on-biden-administration-efforts-to-combat-violent-extremism (6/)
So as we mark #HolocaustRemembranceDay , I feel a bit of hope this year. And I’m especially grateful to all who are a part of @IntegrityForUSA’s work and the much broader fight for accountability & justice, who understand what’s at stake and are doing something about it.
