About the Event

The 2024 Hate Crimes Grantee Conference is a multidisciplinary forum designed for award recipients of several Bureau of Justice Assistance funding programs: the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Program, the Emmett Till Cold Case Investigations and Prosecution Program, the Collaborative Approaches toward Preventing and Addressing Hate Crimes Program—Demonstration Projects, and the Community-based Approaches to Prevent and Address Hate Crimes Program.

This 2 1/2-day, invitation-only event aims to bring together a diverse group of grant recipients. Participants will include representatives from community-based organizations and law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies from across the country. The goal is to foster collaboration and enhance their capacities to prevent and respond to hate crimes.

The conference will focus on three main themes: Understanding and Recognizing Hate Crimes, Building Strategies for Resilience and Response, and Advancing to Healing and Action.

Acknowledging the historical significance of Birmingham, Alabama, to the conference program, several optional educational opportunities will be available to conference attendees during off hours. These opportunities will create transformative experiences that promote cultural engagement and community involvement, particularly in the realm of civil rights history.
