Hate crimes and incidents of intimidation and harassment have increased across our nation, including here in Connecticut.
This hour, we speak with Connecticut's U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly about a letter she wrote to the community urging residents to speak up and report these incidents.
We ask her to explain what a hate crime is and we dig into the latest statistics from the FBI.
Later, we sit down with community leaders including a school principal to find out how they are responding to local incidents of harassment and intimidation.
Have you been affected by a hate crime or intimidation in your community? Has this behavior gotten worse post-election or has it always been in our communities?
GUESTS:
- Deirdre Daly - U.S. Attorney, District of Connecticut
- Mongi Dhaouadi -
Executive Director of CAIR Connecticut Edith Johnson - Principal of Wilbur Cross High School in New Haven, CT Rabbi Jay TelRav - Rabbi at Temple Sinai in Stamford, CT
