Hate Crimes Prevention
MCN is putting community safety first through hate crime prevention workshops at masjids, schools, hospitals, and community centers.

Hate Crime Prevention
MCN’s hate crime prevention initiative is divided into 3 main areas: Community Safety training, Hate Crime Prevention Survey Data Collection, and Policy Advocacy. For Community Safety Trainings, MCN provides workshops that educate members of the community on what hate crimes and bias incidents are, how to prevent hate, where to report it to, and resources available to victims. During these sessions, data is collected through MCN’s hate crime survey on anti-religious hate crimes against Muslim communities in NYC to inform anti-discrimination laws and policies. Our 2022, hate crime report can be found below.
Thirdly, we have been advocating on the city, state, and national levels to speak up against hate crimes and advocate for policies to prevent hate.
