We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.

The short explanation of this alert was:
Take Action Now: Write your senators and urge their support for the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act (S. 909) to fight hate crimes and provide safety and security to all people.

On Wednesday, April 29, the House of Representatives passed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (LLEHCPA), acknowledging the need for significant improvements to our current hate crimes laws. The Obama administration as well as over 300 civil rights, human rights, religious, and law enforcement organizations, have come out in support of the bill. The Senate version, the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act (S. 909) is currently under consideration by the Judiciary Committee and senators need to hear from their constituents.
