In recent years, we’ve seen an alarming rise in hate crimes affecting people across all communities and regions. In Western Mass, there have been three separate large-scale attacks alone in the last year. Through their programs, advocacy, and community relations, organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League work to make sure no member of any community has to fear for their lives now or in the future. Eric spoke with Robert Trestan, Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, about continuing to ensure the safety of our communities through initiatives and increased funding – this is that conversation.
