Hate Incidents are non-criminal acts that involve bias-motivated hostility in which a victim’s real or perceived race/ethnicity, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation is a substantial motivating factor. Hate Incidents are acts of prejudice that are not crimes and do not involve violence, threats, or property damage. Hate incidents can include:

• Derogatory name calling
• Insults
• Bullying
• Hate mail
• Refusing service
• Displaying hate material on your own property
• Posting hate material that does not result in property damage
• Distribution of materials with hate messages in public places.

Hate Crimes are crimes against a person, group, or property motivated by the victim’s real or perceived protected social group. If a hate incident starts to threaten a person or property, it may become a hate crime. The law protects against many classes of hate crimes. This definition is codified in the California penal code sections 422.55 to 422.95 pertaining to hate crime. The U.S. Constitution allows hate speech as long as it does not interfere with the civil rights of others. Following are examples of bias-related crimes that are forbidden by the law:

• Threats (verbal or written)
• Physical assault or attempted assault
• Hate-related graffiti, including swastikas and other offensive symbols
• Cross-burning
• Bomb threats
• Arson
• Disturbance of religious meetings
• Vandalism or property damage

United Against Hate Week emerged from a United Against Hate poster campaign created by Bay Area Cities in response to white supremacist rallies in Berkeley and San Francisco in 2017. And has now spread to over 200+ communities including all of Los Angeles County, faith-based groups, LGBTQ and human rights organizations, and is beginning to takeoff throughout California and in communities across the U.S. 

A call for seven days of local civic action by people in every community to stop the hate and implicit biases, “United Against Hate Week” seeks to empower community members to take action in their local communities. By empowering residents to understand what a Hate Crime is and providing the appropriate resources to local communities United Against Hate week endeavors to alter the course of hate and the growing intolerance by sending a clear message that hate of any kind be rejected. The belief is that building a safer and more equitable world starts by working together.

This year United Against Hate week will fall on November 12 - November 18, 2023. Visit our Diversity Equity and Inclusion Current Projects Page to see how you can join Culver City in standing United Against Hate.
