Actions Against Anti-homeless Bigotry
The NCH has campaigned vocally against what it calls video exploitation of homeless people. The group stated that the Bumfights videos disseminate hate against the homeless and dehumanize them. Calling the video series, they campaigned for retailers to stop carrying the DVDs. The group has since campaigned against similar amateur "bumfight"-like videos on video sharing websites such as YouTube and against Shefights.net, a woman-focused bumfight video website.

Famous quotes containing the words actions and/or bigotry:
“The actions of each dancer were scrutinized with great care and any little mistake noted and remembered. The strain upon a dancer was consequently so great that when a fine dancer died soon after a feast it was said, “The peoples’ looks have killed him.””
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“In our science and philosophy, even, there is commonly no true and absolute account of things. The spirit of sect and bigotry has planted its hoof amid the stars. You have only to discuss the problem, whether the stars are inhabited or not, in order to discover it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
