New York State currently has an alarming lack of transparency around hate crimes, including who the victims are as well as who is imprisoned for committing such crimes. With your help, we can put an end to the secrecy. Join us as we demand that New York State collect and report more demographic information about people involved in hate crimes, so that policymakers can create comprehensive, effective solutions to stop hate crimes—without harming the people hate crimes laws are supposed to protect.

Here are three easy steps to take action now:

Step 1: Find your Reps

Start by finding your State Senator’s contact information here or by calling the State Senate Switchboard (518.455.2800).

Step 2: Call and leave a message

Whether you speak directly with a staff member or leave a voicemail, your message will get through! Share this simple and direct message:

In New York, there’s an overwhelming lack of information about how law enforcement and the legal system investigates hate crimes.
We don’t have the data to determine whether hate crimes penalties are helping or harming the communities they are supposed to protect.
We deserve to know the truth about how hate crimes, and the tools used to penalize them, are impacting us.
Will you support S6066, a bill that will ensure our state collects and reports accurate information about New Yorkers involved in hate crimes?

Step 3: Report back

Let us know how your call went and who you spoke with (if applicable) by filling out the below form.
