BREAKING: Travis and Gregory McMichael Arrested for Murder of Ahmaud Arbery

A Black man jogging on a Brunswick, GA street is shot and killed by two White men saying he was a burglar. There were no arrests – until today. The call for justice was getting louder but given all the parallels of the Trayvon Martin case, a lot of folks are not exactly hopeful we will see it. One day at a time though.

25 Years of Hate Having Consequences !

2025 is a milestone year and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our supporters who have been in the trenches with us for the past 25 years. A lot of groups and people we have dealt with since we started are long gone: Richard Barrett, Matt Hale, the Minutemen and others! But we are still here fighting the good fight, contending with the new generation's version of hate politics. There are trying times ahead, but we believe our reality would be even worse if we did not come together to do this work. If you value the research and reporting that we have done at One People’s Project and Idavox- and you want to see it continue- we hope you will consider helping to keep our mission fired up.
