CA Vs. Hate Resource Line
CA Vs. Hate Resource Line
The website “California vs Hate” (www.cavshate.org) serves as a resource for individuals in California who have experienced or witnessed hate incidents or hate crimes. The site offers a platform for reporting these incidents anonymously, with an assurance of confidentiality. It differentiates between hate incidents, which are hostile expressions or actions motivated by bias, and hate crimes, which are criminal acts committed due to bias against certain characteristics of the victim.
The site provides support in multiple languages and connects reporters with professionals trained in culturally competent communication and trauma-informed practices. Services offered include legal, financial, mental health, and mediation support. The organization emphasizes that it is not affiliated with law enforcement and will not share reports with law enforcement without consent. They also cater to undocumented individuals, ensuring their immigration status remains undisclosed.
Hate can happen anywhere and in any form. If you or someone you know is a victim, it’s important to report and get the support you need! If you or anyone you know has experienced hate or discrimination, visit https://stophate.calcivilrights.ca.gov/s/ or call (833) 866-4283
This resource is supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library in partnership with the California Department of Social Services and the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs as part of the Stop the Hate program. To report a hate incident or hate crime and get support, go to CA vs Hate.
