What is the United Against Hate Program?

In April 2022, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced the Justice Department’s participation with New Jersey law enforcement agencies and New Jersey communities in United Against Hate, an anti-hate crime outreach program. This program represents an attempt by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to gain the trust of traditionally marginalized communities so that their residents are encouraged to report hate crimes and hate incidents. Hate and bias are at an all-time high in New Jersey and throughout the United States. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey was chosen as one of three districts, out of 94 districts in the nation, to advance the United Against Hate outreach initiative.
