Statement on Swastika at Morgan David Yeshiva in Brooklyn from NYC Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes Executive Director, Vijah Ramjattan.

It was our HeARTwork Against Hate traveling art exhibit, celebrating NYC 3rd-12th graders who created masterpieces focused on 🚫confronting bias and 🚫preventing hate.

❤️HeARTwork is a unique innovation from the Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes and Mayor’s Office of Crininal Justice.🎨 And the artwork will be on display inside the Dinkins building next week!

🕯️ Today, on National Remembrance Day for Homicide Victims, the NYC Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes honors and remembers those whose lives have been tragically taken.

We stand united in remembrance, hope, and commitment to creating a safer, more compassionate community for all.

Our thoughts are with the victims’ families and loved ones. Together, we can work toward a future free of hate and violence.
