America, at its best is defined by the principle of Absolute Equality. Absolute equality gives us all the right to be exactly who we are - no apologies. This goes for the middle of the road, the edge of the road and the of-road. The threat to this ideal - intolerance - means, were right, youre worng and therefore its our job to trash everything you are. That means censorship and discrimination. It all means hate.

We are artists and audiences and activists joined together and dedicated to countering bigotry, censorship, racism, homophoiba and violence in American politics and public life. At a time when hate is becomming an accepted part of mainstream culture, our work has never been more vital. When we all stand together, we can make a difference. Join AHFA and become a part of this critical work.
