California has instituted a hate crime tip line in light of rising crime levels.

The hotline, known as CA vs Hate, is part of an initiative from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and the California Civil Rights Department. It included $110 million for hate crime programs. According to a press release from the governor's office, hate crimes have increased 33% from 2020 to 2021 — the largest increase since 2001.

“Here in California, we are sending an unequivocal message that hate will not be tolerated,” Newsom said.

“We stand firm for a California for All and it is important that we hold perpetrators accountable for their actions and provide resources for those individuals victimized by hate crimes. Now, Californians have another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs,” he added.

Californians can report to the tip line at 833-866-4283, or 833-8-NO-HATE, from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in over 200 languages. Online reports on the website CAvsHate.org can be made at any time in 15 languages. All reports are anonymous and free of charge.

Meanwhile, California saw over 340,000 residents move away in 2022, which added up to a population loss of 0.3%, the highest in the nation, according to the National Association of Realtors. Los Angeles County alone lost almost half the number of total residents. Public school enrollment in California declined by nearly 40,000 students during the 2022-2023 school year.
