Gay City and CHCC will offer up their ideas about how to prevent Hate Crimes on Capitol Hill at a press conference this Friday.
Gay City Press Release:
(Seattle, WA) In November 2007, a broad coalition of community groups sponsored a safety forum addressing the issue of gay bashing and hate crimes on Capitol Hill. As a result of the forum, many actions have been implemented. In one action, the King County Prosecutor’s Office, Gay City Health Project, and CHCC decided to take further steps to increase public awareness. A Hate Crimes Awareness poster and matching palm cards listing community resources were created for the express purpose of protecting the neighborhood and encouraging others to report anti-gay hate crimes.
Speakers will include sponsors Jack Hilovsky of the CHCC, Fred Swanson of Gay City Health Project, and Dan Satterberg, King County Prosecuting Attorney.
Hate Crimes Awareness Press Conference
Date: Friday, February 1 at 2 pm
Location: Kaladi Brothers Coffee, 511 E Pike Street
