We Are Taking a Stand
To encourage the reporting of incidents of hate and hate crimes, the Community Partners Against Hate created this PSA, co-sponsored by United Jewish Federation of Utah, Salt Lake City Mayor's Office, and Salt Lake Police Department and County District Attorney's Office. Through our partnership, community leaders and public officials, we are working together to ensure that all communities feel safe to report hate incidents and to know they will be taken seriously.
We are grateful to Salt Lake video director and producer Jordan Oliver (www.jordanoliver.video) for donating his time and expertise in creating this PSA.
