One day ahead of the midterm elections, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday that she will be pouring money into the security of community-based organizations at-risk of hate crimes.
Hochul pledged $96 million on Nov. 7 and announced that nonprofit and community-based organizations that could face prejudice-based violence due to who they serve, their religious beliefs, or other reasons can now apply for the financial boost. According to the Governor’s office, the allocation is the largest amount ever made available through the program.
It is hoped this funding will not only strengthen security against potential attacks but also additionally boost preparedness. This comes after neighboring state New Jersey faced threats against their synagogues over the weekend, with Mayor Eric Adams even announcing that houses of worship in New York saw a bump in police presence.
“This funding and these efforts are positive steps in our fight against hate and intolerance,” Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado said. “The Governor and I will do everything in our power to ensure that the people and organizations within our cities and in our state are protected from hateful acts.”
