Boise CRN steering committee members are citizens from various backgrounds who all share a passion to stand for those who have been marginalized, discriminated against or attacked due to their religion, race, ethnic/national origin, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. CRN resource members include representatives from Ada County Human Rights Task force, The Interfaith Alliance, Idaho Association of Cities, the Neighborhood Association, and the Neighborhood Watch Program.

A hate incident is described as one which involves behaviors, though motivated by bias against a victim's race, religion, ethnic/national origin, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation, are not criminal acts (e.g., leafleting of hate literature).

You could sign up to be a member of the Boise Community Response Network and receive e-mail notifications of community events and ways you can get involved (e.g., attending rallies/vigils, letter writing, posting the "Idaho is Too Great for Hate" poster in your window, etc.). BCRN welcomes individual and organizational involvement (corporate, government, faith, student, or community-based). We also encourage participation by neighborhood associations.
