Antisemitism does not only threaten the Jewish community – it jeopardizes the rights and safety of countless other communities as well as our fundamental democratic norms and values. As democracy is undermined, antisemitism and broader hate and extremism flourish.

At this critical moment for democracy and our country, Yolanda Savage-Narva, Vice President of Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Communities of Belonging for the Union for Reform Judaism, moderates a conversation about the inextricable link between Jewish safety and our democratic freedoms with Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland’s 8th Congressional District and the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability in the 118th Congress; Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs; and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

JCPA was proud to partner with Tree of Life on this program — its first-ever public program since launching as the educational center and memorial to the 2018 Pittsburgh attack.
