Among GPAHE’s key values is the importance of collaboration and building power through alliances. We believe that it is only through strong, diverse, and multi-sector coalitions that we can effect sustainable change. We deeply believe in information sharing and bolstering our allies’ activities.
Experts in multiple countries have told us that they feel stymied by the inclination of countries to stop their work at the border when the threats from hate and far-right movements are clearly transnational. Through leading and participating in multinational as well as domestic coalitions of activists and experts, we work to prevent the spread of authoritarian, white supremacist, and other bigoted ideologies that harm people, human rights, and democracy, and lead to violence and terrorism. Increasingly, coalitions serve as an important bulwark against rising authoritarianism and threats to democracies and communities.
In GPAHE’s work to build and protect inclusive societies, we are active in a number of transnational coalitions. We co-founded the the Global Alliance Against Digital Hate and Extremism (GAADHE) to hold tech companies accountable for their lack of enforcement of their rules for the politically powerful, and no matter the language or geographic location. Composed of more than 70 organizations across the globe, GAADHE’s top priorities are to end exemptions from content moderation for the politically powerful and improve definitions of “dangerous individual and organization” designations and ensure their enforcement.
GPAHE is also a core member of the Christchurch Call Advisory Network (CCAN), created by the governments of France and New Zealand after the Christchurch mosque attacks in 2019. Now led by the Christchurch Foundation, and comprised of government allies, civil society, and tech companies from across the globe, CCAN works to stop the use of online spaces to inspire and coordinate violence and terrorism.
GPAHE also is a partner to other coalitions that combat anti-immigrant hatred, attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, and women’s rights, and those working to end the scourge of rising authoritarianism driven by growing far-right power.
