(Jewish Group) Jewish groups urge action in response to rising extremism, antisemitism in NY
The Anti-Defamation League and the Community Security Initiative are calling for concrete action in the face of rising extremism and antisemitic hate crimes in New York.
In a report released Wednesday, the two groups urged state officials and Gov. Kathy Hochul to double funding to the New York Hate Crimes Grant Program from $25 million to $50 million. This will fund training and equipment to secure an additional 1,000 facilities across the state.
“Now we have an opportunity to urge our lawmakers and community leaders to take action to stop hateful, violent acts from reoccurring in our state,” Scott Richman, the ADL’s New York/New Jersey regional director, said in a press release.
The report, titled “Hate in the Empire State: Extremism & Antisemitism in New York,” and written by Rebecca Federman, CSI’s threat intelligence analyst, culls statistics on increasing extremism within the state from January 2020 to December 2021.
