H. Res. 1450 is a congressional resolution that condemns all forms of hate, discrimination, and bias-motivated violence in the United States. The resolution documents significant increases in hate crimes across multiple communities in 2024, including record-high antisemitic incidents, elevated attacks against Asian Americans and Asian Pacific Islanders, increased crimes against the Sikh and Muslim communities, and disproportionate violence against transgender and gender nonconforming individuals, particularly people of color. The House calls for comprehensive federal and state policies to prevent hate crimes through education and training, support for victims through legal aid and mental health resources, and funding for community-based organizations serving vulnerable populations including immigrants, women, and LGBTQIA+ communities. The resolution reaffirms the federal government's commitment to combating hate-based violence and bigotry as essential to maintaining a democratic society. No specific funding amounts or timelines are specified in the resolution, as it expresses the sense of Congress rather than appropriating funds or establishing binding requirements.
