Hate crime is a “message crime” designed to strike fear into the heart of a community. These crimes attack democracy, marginalize human rights, and erode multiculturalism; hate crimes are oppressive to all communities and societies. Hate Crime Awareness Day invites individuals, businesses, schools and communities to rally to communicate that hate crime will not be tolerated in their community. We invite you to help us mark and celebrate this important day by organizing an event, discussion, or activity in your community.
