Independent, reader-supported journalism on human rights, immigration, and accountability.

Who we are

Resist Hate is an independent newsroom publishing original reporting on the people and policies most coverage overlooks. We report on immigration enforcement, civil rights, and human rights abuses with the time and care those stories deserve — without corporate funding and without advertisers deciding what makes the page. Founded in 2023, we've grown from a small aggregator into a newsroom producing overwhelmingly original work.

What we cover

  • Immigration enforcement and accountability — ICE detention conditions, deportations, and the human cost of enforcement
  • Civil rights and LGBTQ+ rights
  • Gaza and Palestinian human rights
  • Democracy, voting rights, and U.S. political accountability
  • Criminal justice and climate
  • The war in Iran and world affairs

About the editor

Resist Hate is written and edited by Serena Zehlius, a Certified Human Rights Consultant. As a one-person newsroom, every story is reported, written, and fact-checked in-house. We welcome volunteer staff and guest writers.

Editorial independence

Our reporting answers to readers, not funders. Sponsors are credited for making the work possible, but they have no say over what we cover or how we cover it. Editorial decisions belong to the newsroom alone. We don't run programmatic ads, and we don't trade coverage for support.

For the press

Journalists are welcome to cite and quote Resist Hate with attribution and a link. For interviews, comment, or collaboration on a story, reach out to: Press@resisth8.com. Logos and brand assets are available for press use on request.

For sponsors

Independent journalism runs on the people who believe in it. Sponsoring Resist Hate puts your name behind reporting that holds power to account, and your support is acknowledged publicly. What it never does is shape the coverage. If that's the kind of work you want to stand behind, get in touch: Editor@resisth8.com and we'll find the right fit.
