Combating Hate
We endeavor to create an inclusive, equitable multi-racial democracy where all people are free to live, love, and thrive. For centuries, those in power have used antisemitism as a tool to divide our communities and undermine our joint pursuit for justice. Today it is again being wielded to foment division and violence against Jews and other marginalized communities.
That’s why we started a campaign to combat antisemitism and white nationalism, by educating local communities and organizations about the role these forms of hatred play in our current political environment, as well as the historic and current connections between antisemitism and Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism.
If you’d like to sign up for one of our upcoming antisemitism trainings, let us know!
We also convene the Combating Hate Coalition, a growing legislative coalition to reform Minnesota’s hate crime laws to allow for the targeted communities to have a greater role in the reporting and education process.
