On Tuesday, February 25, Senator Bill Weber and Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar held a press conference in the New York State Capitol to announce their bipartisan legislation to combat hate in New York State. The No Hate NY initiative includes creating a No Hate NY license plate and a dedicated No Hate NY Fund to support anti-hate programs and initiatives statewide. The press conference featured leaders and college students advocating for the bill’s passage. Senate Bill S1934 and Assembly Bill A2455 seek to raise awareness and provide funding for programs that promote tolerance.
“At a time when hate crimes are on the rise, we must take bold action to ensure that New York is a place of inclusivity and respect – and that’s what the No Hate NY initiative is designed to do,” said Senator Bill Weber. “I’m grateful to Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkamur for carrying this bill in the State Assembly, Rockland County Human Rights Commissioner Spencer Chiimbwe for being the impetus behind this bill, and to the college students who are advocating for its passage.”
Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar emphasized the bill’s mission: “In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘No one is born hating another person.’ Hate is learned, and the time is now to unlearn it. The No Hate NY Fund is a beacon of love and respect in the fog of hate permeating society today. We will create programs that foster peace and understanding among all the diverse communities across New York, showing that we will always be a welcome home to everyone—no matter where your family is from, how you worship, the language you speak, whom you love, or anything else that makes us a Gorgeous Mosaic. I am proud to partner with Senator Weber to stamp out hate for good.”
The proposed No Hate NY license plates would be available to New York State residents, with proceeds directed toward the No Hate NY Fund, which would support anti-hate education, victim assistance, and community initiatives administered by county human rights divisions throughout New York State.

“Thank you to President Trump and his administration for ending congestion pricing. Rockland County has been treated like an ATM for the MTA for far too long, and we refuse to be a doormat any longer. Fighting against this unfair toll has been one of my biggest priorities while running for and serving in the New York State Senate. Now, we must ensure that congestion pricing remains a thing of the past—for the sake of our hardworking Rockland County commuters.”
