Life After Hate is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization and monthly literary e-magazine dealing with the triumph of love, peace, compassion and openness. Forgiveness. Finding wisdom after traveling foolish and dangerous paths. The joy of discovering common threads that interconnect all human beings regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual affiliation. Life After Hate plants seeds of hope by developing and implementing compelling face-to-face character-building outreach curriculum based on the ideals of basic human goodness, developed by those who personally and willingly sought the mantra of “kindness is not weakness” through a road that was painfully travelled.

Founded by reformed white power skinheads, and the dear friends who helped inspire their turnaround, the mission of Life After Hate is to demonstrate and reinforce the primal, basic goodness of humanity. The first issue of LAH, released on the 2010 birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., features reflective essays by those who have returned from the depths of the white racist movement to share their stories with the world in hope of helping others to avoid making the same tragic and misguided mistakes. Leading this effort are co-founders and former racist skinheads, Christian Picciolini, who recently finished his memoir Romantic Violence: Memoirs of an American Skinhead, and Arno Michaels, author of My Life After Hate. Christian was lead vocalist for the hate-rock bands Final Solution and White American Youth, while Arno was the singer in One Way and Centurion. Both were pioneers in the early racist skinhead movement in America.

Racist skinheads by no means hold a monopoly on hate and violence. Life After Hate is a venue where anyone concerned with racial and human rights issues can speak their mind and contribute to the overall theme of peace, equality, and inclusion.
