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.

“Men’s actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.”

“We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong.
