Description

Tracking hate crimes has its challenges, but one trend is clear: the number of hate crimes, particularly those targeting Muslims and Jews, is on the rise. That finding emerged in several reports from the FBI's Hate Crimes Statistics, the Anti-Defamation League, South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), and the Southern Poverty Law Center. To understand what is happening and how communities are responding, we talk to Becky Monroe, the director of the Stop Hate Project at the Lawyers Committee for Civil Right Under Law. We also hear from Shayna Stevens, a board member of the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR-AZ. She tells us how the Muslim community and allies in the faith community responded to a recent incident in which two moms live-streamed themselves using anti-Muslim slurs and taking flyers and brochures from the local mosque in Tempe, Ariz.
