To confront bigotry and the violence it fuels we must understand it. These film-makers, one the victim of a hate crime, show that hate can be overcome and even in some cases transformed into respect. king5.com/video/entertainmen…

Mosques that change to welcome families with disabilities change everything

(RNS) — Failure to welcome people living with disabilities marginalizes their families as well.

Great to see the progress made to address hate crimes in California. Funding for a hate crimes hotline to connect victims with needed services was made available through the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, a bipartisan bill that MJAC championed. latimes.com/california/story…

It's been one year since California launched a hate-crime hotline. Here's what's happened so far

In the year since the hotline debuted, the state has received 1,020 reports of hate crimes — including discrimination and harassment claims.
