How can I change the layer that is displayed on the map?

You may change the layer by clicking on the 'Layers' button on the left side of the screen (on the top portion if using mobile). There are two different types of layers: Demographic and Electoral. Demographic allows you to see demographic information such as the percent of white population per state, or the number of reported incidents per 100,000 people. The electoral layers allow you to view the majority votes for Democratic and Republican parties by county.

How can I filter the points (reported incidents) that are displayed on the map?

You may filter the points by clicking on the 'Filter Incidents' button on the left side of the screen (on the top portion if using mobile) You can filter by: category of place (such as schools or private residence), the source of the incident (such as national or local news), the type of media used (such as paint or ink), and the target of the incident (such as Jewish communities or African-American communities).

At the bottom of the 'Filter Incidents' menu, there is a time slider which allows you to filter the incidents by a selected time range. Simply select either end of the time range and drag it to your desired filter.

When using these features, you may filter the incidents on the map which will allow you to see these incidents with more precision. You may also select more than 1 filter and a color coded legend will help identify the filters that you have applied.

How do I reset the filters, or remove certain filters that I have applied?

You can reset all of the filters by clicking on the 'Reset Filters' button on the top right portion of the 'Filter Incidents' menu.

To remove a certain filters, you may either click on the filter at the top portion of the filtering menu, under the 'Applied Filters'. You can also click on the filter itself under it's designated category.

How do I interpret the applied filters on the map?

If you have applied filters onto the map, the filters will be designated by the outline on the points below.

For example, let's say that we have applied two filters: one for the “Category of Place” as college campuses and another as the “Source” of the incident as a student newspaper.

As you can see in this example, the filters that are applied are indicated by the the color of the surrounding outlines of the city in which both of these incidents occur.

The red outline indicates that a swastika has been reported on a college campus, and the blue outline indicates that there is a swastika incident reported by a student newspaper.

In addition, the time slider will filter the points and only show the incidents that are within the desired time range.

How do I look further into the reported incidents within a city?

Simply click on the desired city and the reported incidents within the desired city will be visible on the right hand side of the screen (if you are using a desktop computer).

You can view information for each incident (such as the date of the incident, the place of the incident, or the target). If an image is available, a link will be provided. See the example below:

If you have applied a filter you may see this on the top portion of the window:
