Hate Incidents
NDRN believes hate has no place in American communities. We successfully advocated for disability to be included as a protected status in the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. We continue to work on the national level to strengthen legislation and public policy protecting people with disabilities - all Americans - from hate.
With a rise in hate violence across the country, a new report from the Movement Advancement Project (MAP) and 16 leading civil rights organizations, including NDRN, provides a groundbreaking analysis of state and federal hate crime laws.
