What is #50StatesAgainstHate?

The tragic murder of African Americans engaged in Bible study in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015 highlighted the fact that bias-motivated violence in our nation is still a sad reality.

For more than three decades, ADL has spearheaded the drafting, enactment and implementation of hate crime laws, working in partnership with other civil rights and religious organizations, law enforcement groups, civic agencies and business leaders. Today, the federal government and 45 states and the District of Columbia have their own hate crime laws. We have had considerable success, but we need to do more.
