Mandarin Language Bias Incidents & Hate Crimes Reporting Town Hall

The New York City Human Rights Law is one of the most comprehensive civil rights laws in the nation. The Law prohibits discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, discriminatory harassment and bias based profiling by NYPD. Based on the areas of the law, the Commission on Human Rights has protected classes under the law; some of those are race, color, religion/creed, age, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, gender (including sexual harassment), gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, marital status, and partnership status.

Mandarin Language Bias Incidents &amp; Hate Crimes Reporting Town Hall

The New York City Commission on Human Rights, the Mayor’s Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes, and the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit are hosting a Bias Incidents &amp; Hate Crimes Reporting Virtual Town Hall on Thursday, May 14 at 3pm. In recent weeks, we’ve seen an increase in COVID-19 related bias incidents and hate crimes. As communities are being urged to report these incidents, we are creating space for people to get firsthand information from the agencies responding to these acts. Please see the attached flier.This virtual town hall will give attendees an understanding of the difference between bias incidents and hate crimes, which agencies to contact for each, what the reporting process looks like, and what happens when a person officially files a complaint or an arrest is made. It will also be an opportunity for community members to share issues and concerns that have come up as a result of COVID-19 related bias and hate.
