The U.S. Attorney’s Office is partnering with tribal and local officials to host a “United Against Hate” summit on Sept. 16 in Moscow.
The Idaho Capital Sun reports United Against Hate is an initiative led by the U.S. Department of Justice that is focused on improving efforts to combat hate crimes.
U.S. Attorney Josh Hurwit said in a press release, they are committed to empowering Idahoans to recognize and report hate crimes so that they can enforce the law and work toward communities where everyone enjoys the protections of our Constitution without fear of being targeted by bigotry and hate.
The event will include remarks from local leaders, presentations from prosecutors about hate crime laws and reporting mechanisms, and speakers who will share their goals for safety in their community.
The event is free and open to the public.
To register for the event, visit the U.S. Department of Justice website.
