Pursuant to Metro Code of Laws 2.132.070(4), the Metro Human Relations Commission is empowered to investigate bias crimes, hate group activity, and other discriminatory practices in Nashville-Davidson County, Tennessee.
At the Metro Human Relations Commission, we believe every individual deserves to feel safe in our city. In partnership with community leaders and advocates, we are excited to introduce the Metro Nashville Hate Incident Reporting Form. This is a new step to monitor, understand, and address hate in Davidson County and beyond.
What Is the Hate Incident Reporting Form?
This online form allows individuals who believe they have experienced a hate related incident to confidentially report their experience. Whether the incident happened online, in public, or within an institutional setting, we invite you to share your story. All questions in the form are optional and your participation is voluntary.
Why Are We Collecting This Data?
The information you provide will be used to create reports on hate activity in our city. We will analyze trends, identify hotspots, and share the data with the City Council and Metro government. These reports will help us with advocacy for resources, education, and policy changes to mitigate hate in our city.
How Will This Data Be Used?
We will aggregate the data to identify patterns of hate. We will not share personally identifying information without the person’s consent. These insights will help us create educational resources, partner with local organizations, and propose policy changes to make Nashville a safer place for all.
We encourage anyone who has experienced hate to report. Your voice matters!
