"Trenton - Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and the Division on Civil Rights (DCR) announced today the release of a report examining white supremacy in New Jersey. The Report, titled “Exposing White Supremacy in New Jersey,” analyzes the rise in white supremacist recruitment and violence and the painful and profound impact that white supremacy has on targeted communities, especially on young people. In the wake of a significant rise in bias incidents in the State and across the country, the Report calls on members of the community to oppose and confront white supremacy, and outlines best practices for the community to combat white supremacy and prevent white supremacist radicalization. The Report is based on DCR’s findings following virtual public listening sessions with members of the public that sought to gauge the impact of white supremacy in New Jersey and after Attorney General Platkin hosted a statewide Summit on Combatting Bias, Hate, and Violence in June 2022. Hundreds of community members, including academic experts on white supremacy, took part in the listening sessions and the Summit."
