Gov. Hochul announced actions to combat hate crimes to protect vulnerable communities and educate the ignorant people who victimize them.
Gov. Hochul announced a public education campaign and security grants for locations threatened by recent incidents of hate. N.J. Burkett has the story.After the mass shooting in Colorado that devastated the LGBTQ community and a thwarted threat to shoot a Manhattan synagogue, Governor Kathy Hochul is increasing New York's anti-hate crime efforts.
And New York will establish a statewide campaign via the internet and social media to encourage tolerance and understanding. That effort will be managed by the state Division of Human Rights. "We are sending a clear message that we protect all individuals that call New York home," said Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado. "Amidst this rise in bigotry and violence in New York and across the nation, we are bolstering our response to prevent hate crimes before they happen to ensure all New Yorkers can live without fear.
"Like from Jaws, I think we need a bigger boat," Silber said. "Should we be doing this 24x7? How do we cover the sheer volume? When someone is not just talking about doing something it sounds like they have a real plan in mind."
