Tempe strives to be a welcoming, inclusive community. Unfortunately, no community is exempt from experiences of hate and hate crimes.

That doesn’t mean we can’t work to end hate in our community. Read our booklet, It Starts with Me, to get information on discrimination, hate, hate crimes and their effects, tools to help stop the cycle of hate and resources for those who have been affected by it.
