When a bias incident happens, when should you report it? Where? And who makes sure you’re protected through that process?
Join Garden State Equality as we demystify the bias incident reporting process in New Jersey across a series of webinars on Thursdays in April and May. The goal of this series to make our state’s civil rights protections more accessible and safe for all of us.
This series is presented in partnership with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, the New Jersey LGBTQ+ Law Enforcement Liaisons, county prosecutors, and a group of student-activists.
