Bonta says he came to Newark to show his support to Muslims and talk about what he’s doing to ensure that Californians from all backgrounds feel safe and free from crimes of hate.
"I have been committed as Attorney General to take on hate and to be the people’s Attorney. What I mean by that, whatever your fights are, whatever the people’s fights are, those are my fights," said Bonta
"I’ve been working in this space to address racial injustice. We created the Racial Justice Bureau…first of its kind, to take on the forces of hate, to make sure people aren’t being attacked because of who they are, where they’re from, how they look, how they pray," Bonta said. "Ninety percent of the people are going to be very happy about that but you’re also going to have that one percent of people who don’t really understand the value of diversity in the community. Just because we have one of the highest concentrations of Muslim Americans here in the Bay Area, it leads to more issues in that vain," said Aziz Akbari, Muslim Democrats and Friends Co-Founder.
