OPHC Director Ramjatin: PATH program overview and reach
Ramjatin describes the Partners Against the Hate Initiative (PATH), OPHC's backbone prevention infrastructure with six anchor organizations and 40+ sub-vendors providing culturally responsive programming in 20+ languages across all five boroughs. In FY2025, PATH conducted nearly 700 events engaging 62,000+ participants.
One of the primary ways we accomplish this work is through Partners Against the Hate Initiative, or PATH.
PATH is the backbone of New York City's community-based hate prevention infrastructure.
Through six anchor organizations and more than 40 sub-vendors, PATH provides culturally responsive programming in more than 20 languages and reaches communities across all five boroughs.
Because we believe hate prevention is not only about responding after harm occurs, PATH Health builds resilient communities by creating opportunities for
New Yorkers to connect, learn from one another, and recognize the common humanity that binds us all.
In fiscal year 2025 alone, through our PATH initiative and OPHC-led programming, we conducted nearly 700 events.
Engaged more than 62,000 participants across New York City, worked alongside over 240 partners, and in over 20 different languages.
These efforts include anti-hate education, victim support services, conflict de-escalation training,
youth programming, and outreach to communities that have historically faced barriers to reporting hate incidents.
