NBC News has partnered with ProPublica,
the nonprofit organization dedicated to investigative journalism, as
well as other news organizations and nonprofit groups for a project

days after the election. More recently, a wave of bomb threats and some
desecrations at synagogues, Jewish Community Centers, and cemeteries
have had communities on edge.
