Shocked by the mass shooting at the Chabad of Poway, Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed to significantly increase funds for security at synagogues, mosques and other religious institutions in California that face threats of hate-motivated violence.
Hundreds of applications for security grants have gone unfunded, including requests last year for $7.5 million.
The state has provided $4.5 million since 2015 — including $2 million that first year — while a related federal program has provided $12 million in security grants in California. The Anti-Defamation League identified 1,986 anti-Semitic incidents in the US in 2017, a 57% increase over the previous year, caucus members said in an April 4 letter to budget officials.The budget request endorsed by Newsom is not the only pending proposal to address hate crimes.
Newsom also said Monday that he will work with the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to make sure training is up to date in dealing with hate crimes.“With the stark rise in hate-motivated violence, we must do more to secure gathering places to prevent future attacks, and educate people on the dangers of anti-Semitism and hate of all forms,” said Sen. Ben Allen , chairman of the caucus.
