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:
“If one had to worry about one’s actions in respect of other people’s ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“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)
