Working throughout the United States, The Community Relations Service (CRS) is part of the Department of Justice. And not as well-known a part as it might be. CRS works with communities to prevent and respond to alleged hate crimes based on actual or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.

CRS calls itself “America’s Peacemaker” for “communities in conflict by mediating disputes and enhancing community capacity to independently prevent and resolve future conflicts.”

You can learn more and contact CRS for assistance at their website: https://www.justice.gov/crs
