The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division hosted a virtual forum to discuss efforts to combat hate crimes and incidents and highlight the successful launch of the nationwide United Against Hate Community Engagement Program. The forum included reflections from leaders of civil rights organizations on increased threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities across the country. The event coincided with the 25th anniversary of the tragic murders of James Byrd Jr. and Matthew Shepard and commemorated the 14th anniversary of the Shepard/Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
