The Protecting Places of Worship Virtual Forum

As of 2019, nearly 21% of hate crimes in the U.S. were against religious minorities, including their houses of worship and religious institutions. The Federal Government currently has over $180 million available in security grants for these institutions, of which $90 million is for those in urban areas.

The Protecting Places of Worship Virtual Forum will educate faith leaders on how to prevent and respond to hate crimes that target houses of worship and religious institutions, grant programs that provide funding support for security-related and physical security enhancements, and how to secure places of worship leveraging resources and best practices from government agencies. Speakers include representatives from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Justice, and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
