Important: Tell your legislators you support making Minnesota safe for all Minnesotans, with no exceptions.

Over the past five years, the Communities Combating Hate Coalition has been working tirelessly to respond to rising incidents of hate in Minnesota.

The Minnesota House and Senate have included in both of Public Safety omnibus bills (SF1417/HF2432) that would allocate much needed additional funding to the existing Non-Profit Security Grant program- but right now it isn't enough to fill deep community needs & backlogs. Increasing this funding is deeply needed as mosques, synagogues and cultural centers have faced numerous threats in the last several years. Currently, Minnesota leads the nation in attacks on mosques and other Islamic community spaces, both per capita and in total incidents. 

This is unacceptable. Far too often these incidents cannot be prosecuted or pursued because there is no footage of the perpetrators. These non-profit security grants can help cover the cost of cameras and other security essentials.

History has shown us that one law alone doesn't end racism and hate. Legislation alone cannot change society and it is important to make sure communities have the resources needed to document and respond to threats that may come their way.
