SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom issued the following statement in response to increased incidents of anti-Semitic hate in Los Angeles over the last several days:
“This weekend’s public display of anti-Semitic hate is another wake-up call to all of us that we must remain vigilant to protect our values and freedoms as Californians,” said Gov. Newsom. “The former President gave a platform to extremists spewing hate speech and we continue to see the dangerous consequences — from the insurrection on January 6th to Nazi salutes and anti-Jewish signs over the 405 freeway here in California. Our state is committed to protecting our diverse communities and will continue to lead the fight against racial, ethnic, and religious hate wherever it rears its ugly head.”
Gov. Newsom and the Legislature have funded more than $150 million to support anti-hate programs that provide direct support for impacted communities and victims, and an additional $165 million for the State Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which helps nonprofit organizations that are targets of hate-motivated violence improve security at their facilities. This year’s state budget includes:
