2024 Schwartz Prize Award!

Community Powered was awarded a 2024 Schwartz Prize for outstanding work in the public humanities in November and we couldn't be prouder! And we want to congratulate our colleagues around the country and the other prize winners: The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities for the Institute for Louisiana Culture and History, Humanities Montana for The Democracy Project. Up to three prizes are awarded annually from the The Federation of State Humanities Councils, the membership association of state and jurisdictional councils.

Stand Up to Hate: A Call to Action

Recent years have seen a startling rise in hate crimes and hate-motivated violence across the country.

We are confronting this challenge head-on with our Stand Up to Hate initiative, dedicated to promoting understanding throughout the state. Hate does more than create fear; it divides us and undermines the fundamental values of respect and inclusion. Every person deserves to feel safe and valued, regardless of their background. By addressing the roots of hate and amplifying stories of resilience, we can empower individuals and communities to unite against discrimination and violence.

Our free Stand Up to Hate curriculum and resources are written for high school students for use in Wisconsin classrooms.
