ADL applauds LAPD for getting statistics about hate crimes in the City of LA for 2019 out so quickly. We are saddened but not shocked by the 60% rise in anti-Jewish crimes. This reflects the uptick in anti-Semitic incidents ADL is tracking across the country. ADL education programs are part of the solution. LAPD statistics also reflect a rise in hate crimes targeting the African American community, transgender people and the Muslim community. Hateful rhetoric has become a cultural norm and it has real-time consequences. We can only fight this by standing together.
