Hate Crimes Awareness Month
The FBI鈥檚 most recent hate crime report identified 11,862 hate crime incidents in 2023, the most since the bureau started collecting the data in 1991. While the FBI鈥檚 annual reports show only a small increase in hate-fueled crimes, they mark a continuing rise. To highlight this alarming trend, the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated October as Hate Crimes Awareness Month and will conduct an annual campaign to alert the public, advocates, policymakers and politicians to the problem. We鈥檒l also press for specific actions to prevent hate crimes and provide resources to empower effective community response.
