President Biden will host a summit at the White House Thursday on combating hate-fueled violence.

The White House says the event, called the "United We Stand Summit," will gather experts and survivors and will include bipartisan local leaders. It will also honor communities that have been through hate-based attacks, including the mass shootings that took place at gay nightclub in Orlando in 2016; at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, in 2019, where the assailant said he was targeting Mexicans; and the expressly racist shooting that killed 10 Black people in a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket earlier this year.

The program will include remarks by Vice President Harris, a presentation on the state of hate-based violence in the United States and a conversation with a former neo-Nazi who has since disavowed the white supremacist movement.

Biden, who said he decided to run for president because of the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., will also be giving remarks.
