SANDPOINT — Want to learn more about how to combat hate in your community? Join community and state leaders Nov. 14 at The Heartwood Center for a United Against Hate summit sponsored by U.S. Attorney Josh Hurwit.

United Against Hate — an initiative launched by the Department of Justice — is focused on improving efforts to combat hate crimes and incidents through relationship building at the local level. Through this endeavor, the U.S. Attorney’s Office is seeking to create and strengthen trust and partnerships among law enforcement, community leaders and residents.

“In my view, this initiative is particularly timely for Idaho, as we have experienced a series of troubling hate incidents throughout the state in the past several years,” said Hurwit. “As Attorney General Garland has said, this is a moment for an all-hands-on-deck approach to combating unlawful hate.”
