As many of you already know, Life After Hate has been hard at work on our new program Exit USA. Over the past few months, we've made great strides in turning the dream of ExitUSA into a reality. But we haven't done it alone.
Generosity, kindness, and compassion have been essential to Life After Hate's success all along, but especially with ExitUSA. When Life After Hate was paired with gravitytank--a kickass innovation consultancy--they went all out to create the tools necessary for ExitUSA to be successful. Over 6 weeks, our gravitytank rally team spent countless hours immersed in the world of far-right extremism, trying to understand the attraction for at-risk individuals; even more hours speaking with former extremists, gauging what factors make it possible to successfully disengage and deradicalize from extremism; and still more hours speaking with those working on the ground to stem the tide of violence. The end products are a brand identity and launch campaign that we are immeasurably proud of.
It is with endless gratitude that we thank gravitytank and our remarkable EPIC rally team for believing in us and our mission, for your creative and heartfelt insight, and for creating a pallet of tools that will most effectively help us as we help others. We will take these tools out into the world and we will make you proud by making a difference in the lives around us!
