Friend,
We have learned that the Senate may vote TODAY on the Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer NO HATE Act, which would promote more accurate hate crime data collection and assist hate crime victims and their communities. The bill represents the continued efforts of a broad coalition of communities determined to improve the federal, state, and local response to hate crime.
We need you to act now by contacting your Senator.
The Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act is named after Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer, two victims whose murders were prosecuted as hate crimes but not reported in official hate crime statistics. The bill will incentivize state and local authorities to adopt effective hate crime policies and data collection practices, which will help ensure that law enforcement are prepared to respond to hate crime and serve their communities.
