 Hate has no place in BC. Everyone in British Columbia has a right to feel safe and participate in their community. Hate crimes come in many different forms. Some hate crimes can be obvious, like physical assaults. Others can be more indirect, such as property damage and harassment. Who would do this? Some hate crimes might not seem serious, but may also be prosecutable. You know those paths for running, right? You and your wheelchair are in the way. Oh my gosh. If you're a witness to a hate crime, make sure it's safe to engage the situation. Focus on the victim. Engage other witnesses. There's power in numbers. Document and share any evidence with the victim. Okay, I can send it to you. I have it there. If you're a victim of a hate crime, and it's safe to do so, ask for help. Document the incident. Report it to the authorities. Find support. Sir, are you okay? We all need to work together to end racism and hate in our communities. Visit www.resiliencebcnetwork.ca
