In an effort to combat hate crimes in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (OPHC) Executive Director Deborah Lauter announced a new initiative that is meant to let the community help in these matters.
Called Partners Against the Hate (P.A.T.H.) FORWARD, the program will provide funding and support to six anchor organizations to promote community-based approaches to reduce hate crimes as well as expanding hate crime reporting and services for victims.
