“If you experience a hate-driven incident, please report it to Ashland Police Department. It is the only way law enforcement can understand the full breadth of what is happening and take appropriate action.
Please also report messages of hate and any efforts to you see to recruit people to these organizations. The Oregon Bias Hotline is available at 844.924.2427 or online at StandAgainstHate.oregon.gov.
