> | \| \\| Hi Reader,  From the January insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — which had ties to far-right extremist groups, as examined in a [documentary from ProPublica and PBS Frontline](https://link.propublica.org/click/23834087.62970/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucGJzLm9yZy93Z2JoL2Zyb250bGluZS9maWxtL2FtZXJpY2FuLWluc3VycmVjdGlvbi8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1zYWlsdGhydSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1ldmVudA/5f0c8c919f2de35c3e5bfa8cBfd4e6963) — to the surge of hate crimes against Asian Americans, hate is on the rise in America.  Last year, ProPublica concluded a three-year project called [Documenting Hate](https://link.propublica.org/click/23834087.62970/aHR0cHM6Ly9wcm9qZWN0cy5wcm9wdWJsaWNhLm9yZy9ncmFwaGljcy9oYXRlY3JpbWVzP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9c2FpbHRocnUmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249ZXZlbnQ/5f0c8c919f2de35c3e5bfa8cB8e49e422), which addressed one of the most urgent and least understood corners of America’s criminal justice system: hate crimes. The project brought clarity to what hate crimes are; who perpetrates them and who is victimized by them; as well as why they are so poorly understood, investigated and prosecuted.  **Please join ProPublica for a virtual event:**      *Documenting Hate, 2021: From the Capitol Riot to Anti-Asian Violence* Wednesday, May 19 \\\| 3:30-4:30 p.m. ET \\| \| \|:-:\| |

> | \| \\| In a conversation moderated by ProPublica reporter **A.C. Thompson**, members of our panel will share their perspectives on tackling hate crimes and hate groups in 2021. With a focus on California, which has seen the most arrests from the Capitol riot, along with a high increase of anti-Asian violence this past year, experts will explore new waves of white supremacist groups and anti-Asian hate, interracial tensions beyond the Black-white racial binary, and the work they’re doing to examine, track and address these issues.  We will also expand the discussion to broader narratives of hate across the country — and you’ll have the opportunity to [ask your questions](https://link.propublica.org/click/23834087.62970/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucHJvcHVibGljYS5vcmcvZXZlbnRzL2RvY3VtZW50aW5nLWhhdGUtMjAyMS1mcm9tLXRoZS1jYXBpdG9sLXJpb3QtdG8tYW50aS1hc2lhbi12aW9sZW5jZT91dG1fc291cmNlPXNhaWx0aHJ1JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPWV2ZW50/5f0c8c919f2de35c3e5bfa8cC2b73c267).  Speakers include:  - **Damon T. Hewitt**, acting president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law - **Aarti Kohli**, executive director of Advancing Justice – Asian Law Caucus - **Marshall Wong**, senior intergroup relations specialist for the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations  Hope you can join us,  Simon Tran   Proud ProPublican \\| \| \|:-:\| |
