On the morning of September 26th, San Diego City Councilmembers Raul Campillo and Stephen Whitburn held a press conference in the Hillcrest neighborhood, a community that has recently experienced a rise in hate incidents, focusing on sharing key tools and resources available to report hate crimes and support victims.
In recognition of United Against Hate Week (Sep. 21 – Sep. 27), the press conference raised public awareness around vital tools like California vs. Hate, which is free, confidential, available in over 200 languages, and enables residents to report hate incidents and access supportive services.
Speakers, including the two Councilmembers and two community leaders, stood against hate, encouraged the public to plug in to available resources, and offered support to those affected.
