About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

South Carolina remains one of only two states without a statewide hate crimes law. Despite ongoing efforts, legislation aimed at protecting marginalized communities continues to stall.

Join us for a critical community conversation exploring the urgent need for hate crimes legislation, including the proposed Clementa C. Pinckney Hate Crimes Act, sponsored by Representative Wendell Gilliard.
