• MIAAHC Section:
The Michigan Alliance Against Hate Crimes (MIAAHC) is a collaborative partnership with the Michigan Civil Rights Commission and Department, and the United States Attorney Offices from the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan. This statewide coalition of over 70 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, civil rights organizations, community-based groups, educators and anti-violence advocates works to ensure a consistent and effective response to hate crimes and other related incidents of tension and violence in communities across Michigan.

MIAAHC provides information and resources that assist local hate crime coordinating units (Community Response Systems) to engage specific community partners in education and prevention initiatives. In September 2007, MIAAHC and MDCR presented the "Michigan Response to Hate: Building United Communities" Conference in Lansing to address the troubling resurgence of hate crime across Michigan. At the conference, MDCR and MIAAHC were able to address over 300 individuals on developing community-based response systems to hate and bias incidents and discuss the needs of Michigan's communities.
