Stop The Hate Program

Mission Statement

To empower communities across LA county on how to report hate and access resources, such as legal services, mental health services, victim compensation and more, in order to begin the path to healing. We are dedicated
to promoting respect, equity, and knowledge through education, prevention, advocacy, and direct services. We aim to break the stigma of normalizing acts of discrimination and hate by engaging in outreach and tabling events, offering case management, systems navigation, referrals, and through hosting educational training. We have been established for one year and continue to grow and transform to better serve the disability community and communities affected by hate.

Book a training

Inform local agencies, human service organizations, community resource centers, and schools on where to report hate, why it is important to report hate, the difference between a hate crime and hate incident, bystander
intervention strategies, and available resources for survivors.
