In response to a rise in hate crimes and at the start of Asian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Governor Gavin Newsom, along with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), today, announced the official launch of CA vs Hate, a new multilingual statewide hotline and website that provides a safe, anonymous reporting option for victims and witnesses of hate acts. CA vs Hate is in direct response to the rise in reported hate crimes in California, which in recent years, reached their highest levels since 2001 \u2013 jumping almost 33% from 2020 to 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere in California, we are sending an unequivocal message that hate will not be tolerated,\u201d said\u00a0Governor Newsom.\u00a0 \u201cWe stand firm for a California for All and it is important that we hold perpetrators accountable for their actions and provide resources for those individuals victimized by hate crimes. Now, Californians have another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn California, our diversity is what makes the nation\u2019s most populous state a beautiful and vibrant community,\u201d said\u00a0First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom\u00a0at an event in Sacramento launching this new program. \u201cIt\u2019s horrifying that hate crimes are on the rise, and so let it be made clear: we stand with our diverse communities, and we are committed to ensuring they feel safe and heard. There is no room here for bigotry and hate-fueled violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) started the conversation to create a state hotline to report hate crimes in 2021\u00a0\u2013\u00a0this program will help individuals and communities targeted for hate including Asian Americans, Latinos, Black Americans, LGBTQ+ individuals, religious minorities, and other communities that make up California\u2019s diversity and strength. Hotline services are confidential and provided for free, regardless of immigration status. These services are offered in a culturally competent manner and will help people identify options and next steps after a hate incident or hate crime has occurred. Hate acts can be reported in 15 different languages through the online portal and in over 200 languages when calling the hotline.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the launch of the Ca vs Hate Resource Line and Network, we unequivocally state that there is no home or place for hate in California,\u201d said\u00a0Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency Secretary Lourdes Castro Ram\u00edrez. \u201cWe are doubling down on our commitment to combat hate by embracing the strength of our diversity and empowering Californians with resources and support to prevent and end hate in all forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia is strong because of our diversity but hate-fueled violence remains a persistent and growing threat,\u201d said\u00a0CRD Director Kevin Kish. \u201cWith the launch of CA vs Hate, we\u2019re taking action to help put a stop to hate and to provide support for victims, survivors, and their families. In the face of hate across the nation, we stand united in declaring: California is for everyone. I urge all Californians to know their rights and to take advantage of these important resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hotline will also be complemented by a multilingual outreach campaign, emphasizing community engagement. The campaign aims to support efforts that encourage reporting and access to resources through targeted public service announcements, direct marketing, and other activities. CA vs Hate also seeks to overcome reporting challenges \u2013 whether due to fear of retaliation, lack of trust, or other issues \u2013 by offering people targeted for hate a community-centered approach that does not require engagement with the criminal legal system.<\/p>\n

The CA vs Hate Resource Line and Network is a non-emergency, multilingual hate crime and incident reporting hotline and online portal. Reports can be made anonymously by calling (833) 866-4283, or 833-8-NO-HATE, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT or online at any time. For individuals who want to report a hate crime to law enforcement immediately or who are in imminent danger, please call 911.
