With hate crimes reportedly on the rise across the country and online, the Anti-Defamation League is setting up a new outpost in Silicon Valley, backed by the Omidyar Network , to look at ways to use technology to fight back.
Racially and religiously motivated threats were on the rise in the run-up to the election and have continued into the new year. Events have culminated in the murder of an Indian man in Kansas City last month and the shooting of a Sikh man in a Washington state suburb outside of Seattle just last week. Meanwhile, the Southern Poverty Law Center documented over 1,000 incidents through the month of January alone, following the election of President Donald Trump.
Jewish communities across the U. S. have also been targeted, with at least 152 bomb threats reported at community centers and synagogues around the country.
