Dear Friend,
Life After Hate is the only organization offering long-term case management, group meetings, educational resources, and professional referrals for individuals and families dealing with hateful ideology and planned harm. We serve people in the justice system and those rebuilding their lives after release—all free of charge because we refuse to create barriers between people and help.
Our work is guided by Exit Specialists—formers with the skills, training, and lived experience to serve as credible messengers for others still trapped in hate. Exit Specialists are trained in motivational interviewing, risk assessments, and the specific dynamics of hateful ideology. They’ve done the work themselves, and now they help others by giving hope.
Our ExitUSA™ programming draws on fifteen years of fieldwork and co-researched best practices. It works:
- A teen writing a manifesto glorifying harm was referred to our program and is reducing harmful thoughts.
- Someone worried about their partner joined our family and friends group and no longer feels alone.
- We connect minors and families to mental health professionals who understand the specific risks our participants face.
This is why your support matters now more than ever.
We need to expand our capacity to serve court-mandated and juvenile participants who often require additional time and resources. Your support delivers best-in-class care and helps build safer communities for everyone.
The cost of this programming may seem high, but the cost of inaction—of allowing ideologically driven hatred to grow unchecked—is far higher. This work is an investment in safer families and communities.
There is Life After Hate. Nobody should be judged by their worst actions.
With your help, we can continue offering hope and real pathways out of hate.

Honoring Thomas
Five years ago, LAH lost a valued team member and a dear friend, Thomas. Honoring his story and legacy reminds us that nobody should be judged by their worst actions and that healing requires ongoing support, grace, and compassion.
The Martial Art of Speech
The words we choose can either open space for understanding or completely shut down a conversation. In the first episode of Season 4, we explore verbal Judo and tactical speech with Israel Lopez Sensei from The Martial Maze podcast.
The What and Why of LAH
Real change requires more than action—it demands clarity on the what, the why, and the how we get there together.

Our perspective on hope dealers in the work.
