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:
“A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“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)
