District Attorney George Gascón and Robin Toma, executive director of the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations, announced a series of community-based forums to inform a joint-action plan against hate in Los Angeles County.
“We are fortunate to live in one of the most diverse counties in America, but the strength of our diversity also makes us vulnerable to hate-based threats and violence. The recent rise in hate incidents across our county is unacceptable,” District Attorney Gascón said. “We must ensure the safety of all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender identity or sexual orientation. To address the recent rise in hate crimes and incidents, my office will lead a series of community-based forums to create a thoughtful and inclusive plan of action to resist hate in Los Angeles County.”
