Fixing a Broken Reporting System

Right now, the system is confusing and fragmented.

Victims can report incidents to different agencies — NYPD, District Attorneys, the Office of Hate Crime Prevention, the Human Rights Commission — but there’s no clear coordination between them. Too often, people are turned away or their experience isn’t properly recorded.

Pesach Osina will fight to:

• Create a unified, interagency reporting system so incidents are tracked and shared

• Standardize definitions so victims aren’t dismissed because their case doesn’t “fit”

• Improve transparency so communities know what’s actually happening

If something is reported, it should count — and it should be acted on.

Supporting Victims Where They Are

For many people, reporting hate isn’t just difficult — it feels impossible.

Pesach Osina will:

• Fund and expand Hate Crime Navigators — trained professionals who help victims report incidents and access services

• Ensure support is language-accessible, culturally competent, and community-based

• Partner with local organizations to build trust and increase reporting

People are more likely to come forward when they know someone is there to help them through it.

Protecting Every Community

Fighting hate means protecting everyone.

Pesach Osina is committed to making sure every community — Jewish, Black, Latino, Asian, Muslim, Catholic, and others — feels safe, respected, and supported.
