C. VIRGINIA FIELDS HOSTS SECOND MEETING OF ANTI-HATE CRIMES INITIATIVE WHO: C. Virginia Fields with faith and community leaders WHEN: Wednesday, August 17. Press availability immediately after meeting at approximately 10:30am WHAT: Meeting to discuss next steps in developing plan to fight hate crimes WHERE: Manhattan Borough President's office CONTACT: Dan Willson, 212-669-3539 Not that anybody would think to introduce politics into an issue as sensitive as hate crimes.
