Tell Congress to Act NOW! Pass the Hate Crimes Bill! Did you know that current federal law does not protect all victims of hate crimes? The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crime Prevention Act (H.R. 1592) will, for the first time, allow for the federal prosecution of certain hate crimes based on sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability. The House of Representatives could vote on this historic bill this week!
The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act would provide critical resources for local law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute hate crimes for all victims. The bill already has broad support from civil rights groups and every major law enforcement entity in the country. Now it’s your turn to take a strong stand against hate crimes by urging your representative to do the same.
