United Against Hate

Oprima aqui para Espanol

 

The United Against Hate (UAH) Community Outreach Program aims to improve hate crime reporting by:

  • teaching community members how to identify, report, and help prevent hate crimes; and
  • building trust between law enforcement and communities.

UAH shares resources to combat hate and encourages discussion between representatives from law enforcement, community organizations, and members of the public. UAH emphasizes that while some hate-fueled incidents—standing alone—may not be a crime, people should still report those incidents to local law enforcement and the FBI.

For questions about United Against Hate or to schedule a training for your organization or community, please send us an email at:  USAFLM-UnitedAgainstHate@usdoj.gov.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida and the Central Florida Pledge joined efforts to create hate crimes prevention training videos to inform the public about hate crimes and the importance of reporting them to law enforcement.  The videos, which can be viewed on the Pledge’s YouTube page include topics on how to distinguish between a hate crime and a hate incident; how to report a hate crime; what information to include when reporting a hate crime; and how to report acts of discrimination.
