In Harassment, Hostility, Hate
What can you do about it?

When witnessing or facing hate speech or hate crimes, here is what you can do:

  • Contact the local law enforcement agency right away.
  • Get medical attention (if you need it).
  • Write down the exact words that were said.
  • Make notes about any other facts.
  • Save all evidence (e.g., graffiti, eggshells, writing on victim’s vehicle). If safe, wait until law enforcement arrives and takes photos.
  • Get the names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails of other victims and witnesses.
  • Try to get a description from any eyewitnesses of the criminal or the vehicle.
  • Contact community organizations in your area that respond to hate crimes.
