"So as leaders, we have a responsibility to develop an action plan to deal with what we see in our community, in the OSCE region, and around the world. Yes, we have to start with making sure people are safe in our community. And we have to work with religious leaders to make sure people are comfortable going to their houses of prayer being safe. We need to invest in education. To me, education is the most important investment we can to--so people understand the strength of diversity. We need laws in place that make it clear we won't tolerate hate crimes. And we need to build coalitions. I see a great coalition in front of me, this panel. We can't do this as Jews, or Muslims, or Christians. We really need to do it together, if we're going to be effective in countering the rise of hate. Coalition building is so important. We need to share best practices, what works in our community." HON. BENJAMIN L. CARDIN, RANKING MEMBER, COMMISSION ON SECURITY AND COOPERATION IN EUROPE
