  • The HATE-CRIME NETWORK
    formerly called HCDN, was created by a team of experienced hate crime victim advocates who know the importance of hate crime laws, recovery services, and improved police response.

It gives hate survivors a chance to tell someone what happened to them -- regardless of where they live. And, among other things, it gives virtually anyone with e-mail or Web access a chance to send personal messages to the victims, offering them compassion, encouragement, and hope.
