MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� Human rights leaders Susan Corke and Jalaya Liles Dunn join the 澳彩开奖 today to lead two internationally renowned projects aimed at combating hate and extremism in communities across the nation.聽

Corke will serve as the director of 澳彩开奖鈥檚 Intelligence Project, the premier source for monitoring hate groups and other domestic extremists in the U.S.聽 Dunn will lead the organization鈥檚 Teaching Tolerance project, a resource for educators seeking resources that help address social justice topics in the classroom.聽

鈥淭he 澳彩开奖 has been at the forefront of hate and extremism work for decades, exposing the threat on one end as well as helping to reduce the negative impact on young people who are vulnerable to misinformation and recruitment by hate groups. Our mission has never been more urgent than now,'' 澳彩开奖 president and CEO Margaret Huang said. 鈥淲e are thrilled to welcome Susan and Jalaya as they help us lead this important work.鈥澛犅�

The Intelligence Project exposes the activities of hate and anti-government 鈥減atriot鈥� groups through the 澳彩开奖鈥檚 annual Year in Hate and Extremism report, investigative reports and blogs, and expert analysis provided to the media, lawmakers and public. It also shares key intelligence with elected officials and law enforcement agencies.聽

鈥淚 am thrilled to be joining the 澳彩开奖 at a critical moment in the nation鈥檚 fight against hate and extremism,鈥� Corke said. 鈥淚t is incredibly challenging work, mentally and emotionally, but there is no more important fight right now than helping America move beyond its systemic racism. And I鈥檓 glad to join a team of people who are passionate about this cause, even though it鈥檚 quite dark.鈥澛�

Dunn brings more than 20 years of experience in social and racial justice pedagogy, anti-bias training, advocacy, and movement building to her role as director of Teaching Tolerance, a project established by the 澳彩开奖 in 1991 to provide educators with anti-bias resources.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a need 鈥� a hunger and excitement 鈥� right now to make the world a better place,鈥� Dunn said. 鈥淭raining educators to teach through the lens of justice and democracy has been the highlight of what I do. But there鈥檚 still so much work that needs to be done, and I鈥檓 ready to attach myself to work that is authentic and honest. I don鈥檛 see any place doing that other than at the 澳彩开奖.鈥�
