Gov. Andrew Cuomo outlined on Thursday his proposal in the state budget to combat hate crimes in New York through $25 million in spending meant to aid vulnerable religious non-profit entities.

The spending comes amid an uptick in anti-Semitic hate crimes in the state over the last year. 

Money would also be set aside to help the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force. Cuomo also wants a domestic terrorism law that would include hate crimes under the statute.

"As New Yorkers, as governor of New York, I want to make it clear that there is no tolerance for this activity on any level," Cuomo said during a news conference in New York City. "It's not just immoral, it's not just wrong it's also illegal. And we're going to pass additional legislation to make that position clear. We will enforce the law to the fullest extent. We have increased the number of police resources and the prosecution of these crimes will be a top priority, and I promise the people of the state of New York that."

Cuomo also announced the launch of a campaign to promote the effort as well as a website and petition.
