Today, I joined Governor Healey and Lt. Governor Driscolls as they announced a new state-wide initiative to prevent and combat hate crimes in the Commonwealth. The initiative intends to confront and deter hate crimes, support victims, and foster community resiliency.
The Massachusetts Constitution — the first in the nation — guarantees us all freedom and equality, safety and happiness.
Acts of hate are attacks on democracy, and we won’t stand for that in our state.
