OPHC Director Ramjatin: PATH anchor partners and community impact
Ramjatin names PATH's six anchor partners including the 67th Precinct Clergy Council, JCRC, NY Anti-Violence Project, Arab American Association, Asian American Federation, and Hispanic Federation. He explains how trusted community organizations help prevent conflict escalation and build resilience against hate.
What makes PATH successful is that it is led by trusted organizations, deeply rooted in the communities they serve.
These organizations are often the first places
residents turn to for support, information, and healing after experiencing bias or hate.
Co-part path partners, including the 67th Prison Clergy Council, the Jewish Community Relations Council, JCRC, the New York Anti-Violence Project, the Arab American Association of New York,
the Asian American Federation, and the Hispanic Federation work together to combat anti-Semitism, anti-LGBTQ plus hate, Islamophobia, anti-Asian hate, anti-Arab hate,
anti-Black racism, and other forms of bias while fostering inclusion, solidarity, and safety for all New Yorkers.
The impact extends beyond any single event.
When communities have trusted relationships, know where to seek help, and feel connected to one another,
They are better equipped to prevent conflicts from escalating, support victims when incidents occur, and build resilience against hate and bias.
