 In September 2022, the Attorney General announced that the Justice Department's United Against Hate community outreach and engagement programme would be launched in every U.S. Attorneys' Office (USAO). In 2023, USAOs engaged thousands of people across the country, providing education about hate crimes and bias-motivated incidents and strengthening connections between communities and law enforcement through dialogue at more than 300 events reaching more than 10,000 participants. 
    
As part of an ongoing commitment to improve hate crimes reporting and data collection, the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Service (CJIS) convened a symposium at its headquarters in Clarksburg, West Virginia, with state and local law enforcement partners responsible for crime data collection, including hate crimes data. The symposium featured discussions and presentations addressing various aspects of hate crime data, including its collection, analysis, and interpretation. Participants also explored ways to improve reporting mechanisms, better support victims, and implement preventive measures to counter hate-motivated actions.
    
The Department of Justice committed $1.5 million to finance the programmes that support community-based organizations and civil rights groups in implementing comprehensive approaches to promote community awareness and preparedness, increase victim reporting, strengthen community resiliency, and improve responses to hate crimes. In 2023, $8 million was also awarded in Community-based Approaches to Prevent and Address Hate Crimes grants across the country.
    
Additionally, DOJ's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), in collaboration with the CSO Futures Without Violence, provided funding to 12 local community-based groups to serve and support victims of hate crimes in their communities. The grants, ranging from $50,000 to $125,000, are aimed at promoting awareness, healing, and access to resources and services for people affected by hate crimes. The 'In The Streets' project continues to provide therapeutic mentorship to victims of hate crime. They have also recruited and begun screening for an LGBTQ+ support group led by a representative mental health professional.
    
Notable cases in 2023:
    
A man was arrested and charged in 2023 for attempting to burn down a church because of its support for the LGBTQ+ community. On 23 October 2023, he pleaded guilty to the church arson hate crime and using fire and explosives to commit a felony. On 30 January 2024, he was sentenced to 216 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
    
A California resident who shot and wounded two Jewish men as they left religious services in Los Angeles in 2023 agreed to plead guilty to hate crimes and firearms offences in May 2024. Under the plea agreement, the perpetrator would receive a prison sentence of between 35 years and 40 years.
    
In October 2023, an Illinois man was charged with first degree murder, aggravated battery, and two counts of hate crimes for stabbing and killing a six-year-old Palestinian American child and injuring his mother outside on 14 October 2023.  The defendant owned the home where the family lived. The charges allege that the victims were targeted because they were Muslim and because of the war between Israel and Hamas. The defendant has pleaded not guilty. The Department of Justice opened a federal hate crimes investigation into the events which is ongoing.
