Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, released the following statement immediately following today’s shooting at a mosque in San Diego:

“We are horrified by today’s shooting at a mosque in San Diego.

“While we still wait to learn more details, what we know is this is particularly frightening in a moment when rising anti-Muslim hate and the gutting of anti-hate programs leave too many at risk and afraid.”
