United Against Hate Workshop

The Moscow Human Rights Commission invites all area residents to learn about combating hate and discrimination at “United Against Hate,” a multi-part panel discussion being held from 6-8:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16, at the 1912 Center Great Room in Moscow. The event is part of the Moscow Human Rights Commission’s “Inclusive Communities Month” series.

The event will feature representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho, FBI, and local law enforcement, along with a panel of local stakeholders including Sam Martinet, executive director of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, Mario Pile, director of the University of Idaho Black African/American Cultural Center, and others.

Attendees will learn about topics including:

  • Federal hate crimes and anti-discrimination statutes
  • Reporting unlawful acts of hate and discrimination
  • Building partnerships between the Department of Justice, local law enforcement, and the community to address unlawful acts of hate
  • Inclusive community partnerships and activities

Refreshments will be provided.

The event is sponsored by the City of Moscow Human Rights Commission, the Latah County Human Rights Task Force, the Nez Perce Tribe and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Registration to attend the event is available via the U.S. Department of Justice website.

The United Against Hate community outreach program began in 2022 when Attorney General Merrick B. Garland tasked the 94 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices across the nation to improve hate crime reporting by teaching community members how to identify, report, and help prevent hate crimes and building trust between law enforcement and communities.
