Omaha Hate Crimes Awareness Campaign

Awareness Campaign "We want to send the message that Omaha is safe and welcoming for all people," said Patrick McNamara, Omaha Hate Crimes Project Coordinator.
What can the community do to bring about awareness of hate crimes? The greatest reason that bigotry exists is because good people stay silent. We are not powerless in responding to hate. Please take action when you see hate and bigotry. Some ways to respond to hate crimes are: REPORT them to the police SHOW SUPPORT for the victims ORGANIZE your church, synagogue or mosque to help victims of hate PARTICIPATE IN A DIALOGUE with your neighbors about what to do if hateful acts happen SUPPORT hate crimes education programs in local schools	Watch a clip of Patrick McNamara describing the community awareness campaign
