ADL also requests $30 million for grants to support community-based approaches to preventing hate crimes through conflict resolution and community empowerment and education, which was included in the FY 2023 House appropriations bill. While Congress ultimately appropriated $5 million of this funding in FY 2022, that amount falls far short of the need. ADL supports the President’s FY 2023 budget request for an additional $5.8 million for the Civil Rights Division to increase capacity to enforce civil rights statutes and address hate and bias in in the areas of education, employment, housing, policing, public accommodations, and access to federally funded programs and urges the inclusion of this funding in the FY 2024 request. https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/2023-02/ADL%20FY24%20Funding%20Request%20to%20OMB.pdf
