Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday that she is distributing $70 million in state grants aiming to safeguard against hate crimes.
Hochul’s office said in a press release that the funding will be disbursed to 290 nonprofit community-based organizations that “are vulnerable to hate crimes and attacks due to their ideology, beliefs or mission.” The Securing Communities Against Hate Crimes grant program will enable the nonprofits to “strengthen both their physical facilities and cyber security as well as increase the safety of staff and individuals they serve,” according to the announcement.
