The Sikh Coalition has thrown its weight behind a new bipartisan push to strengthen hate crime reporting in the United States. In a post on X, the national advocacy organization endorsed the Improving Reporting to Prevent Hate Act, calling it “one of the strongest policy steps” toward truly understanding and addressing hate-motivated violence across the country.
“As dire as the data on hate crimes and bias incidents in our country is, the unfortunate truth is that the reality is likely worse,” said Mannirmal Kaur, federal policy manager for the Sikh Coalition. “Each year, thousands of law enforcement agencies do not report any such crimes and incidents to the FBI, leaving huge gaps in our knowledge about the lived experiences of marginalized communities.”
