A new report shows a massive increase in hate crimes and speech across the state.
The Anti-Defamation League said there was an 80% increase in hate crimes in Illinois in just one year.
"That's $10 million that would otherwise be spent on things like feeding the hungry, educating the young, providing emergency housing or financial aid," said Dan Goldwin, Jewish United Fund executive director."The windows were replaced, the stickers were removed, but the invisible scars remain," Chicago Loop Synagogue President Lee Zoldan said.
"Hate doesn't stop with speech. It manifests itself into acts of targeted violence," Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said. From RefugeeOne to the Chinese American Service League, activists are standing together to demand things like accountability for social media companies and strengthening the state's response to hate crimes in order to make Illinois a safer and more welcoming place.
