Action 2: Combating Hate, On the Rise - Wednesday
A recent report from the Anti-Defamation League shows a range of extremist groups and movements now operating in Illinois. The impact is widespread-- 101 reported hate crimes in Illinois alone, according to the FBI's latest statistics--that targeted a variety of communities, including Jewish, Black, LGBTQ, and Asian American and Pacific Islander. That's an 80% increase since 2020.
Join Indivisible Illinois on October 18 at 7:30pm on Zoom for a discussion about how organizations espousing hate and incidences of crimes involving hate have escalated in Illinois and across the nation.
The panel will include speakers from the Anti-Defamation League and other organizations. They will discuss the history behind this spreading hate in Illinois as well as data showing the trend lines of increasing extremism and hate-fueled violence in the state. They will also discuss recommendations on activities that can help address antisemitism, hate, and extremism while preserving civil liberties.
