One day ahead of the midterm elections, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday that she will be pouring money into the security of community-based organizations at-risk of hate crimes.
Hochul pledged $96 million on Nov. 7 and announced that nonprofit and community-based organizations that could face prejudice-based violence due to who they serve, their religious beliefs, or other reasons can now apply for the financial boost. According to the Governor’s office, the allocation is the largest amount ever made available through the program.
