Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 10, the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission will release its 2020 Report on Hate Crime in Los Angeles County. The report provides analysis of hate crime data in 2020 based on race, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and disability. The information is collected from more than 100 law enforcement agencies, school districts, and community-based organizations throughout the County. Topics to be covered include hate crimes in which COVID-19, the presidential race, or Black Lives Matter protests were mentioned; anti-immigrant slurs; the disproportionate victimization of African-Americans; high rates of violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals; continued victimization of the Jewish community; and hate crimes with evidence of white supremacist ideology. The report also documents which regions of the County experienced the highest numbers and rates of hate crime. Speakers will also talk about what is happening to end hate crimes and incidents in our county, including the L.A. vs. Hate initiative. More information on L.A. vs. Hate may be found here: www.LAvsHate.org.
