What happens after I report?

Information is stored in a cloud-based HIPAA-compliant records system. Reporting helps to track trends, identify gaps, and understand the scope of hate crimes and bias incidents in King County. This data guides prevention strategies and informs a more accurate picture of the problem. Sharing information also fosters community solidarity and encourages others who have experienced similar incidents to come forward.

What resources and services are offered through the Stop Hate Hotline?

Callers can choose which resources or services, if any, they want help with. When requested, Hotline staff provide immediate support or connect callers to the right agencies. They are trained to handle crises and can offer referrals such as:

• 211 for information and referrals to health & human services (including legal services)
• 988 for emotional support
• Law enforcement (only with caller’s consent, if needed)
• Emergency shelter and food resources in caller’s area
• Domestic violence hotlines for advocates and confidential shelter options


Can the Stop Hate Hotline provide legal advice?

No. Phone workers cannot provide any legal advice. They can refer callers to 211 for information and referrals to appropriate health & human services, including legal assistance.
