Great to be out in the streets with our friends from @jvpliveNY and more to rally around an end to the ADL’s role supporting militarized policing — and the collective power we exhibit when we speak out. Photo of a crowd of people standing outside at a rally with

Let’s zoom in on that last picture because this is important:

➡️ Drop ADL now

We’re looking at the vent diagrams @onespacefor created for #UnravelingAntisemitism. A vent is the overlap of 2 statements that appear to be both true & contradictory

We used them to capture the complexity of the multiple truths we want ppl who see & discuss the print to explore
Jewish liberation is critical to unlocking collective liberation, that’s why we should fight for it! AND, Jewish liberation is critical to liberating Jews - that alone makes it important! Two circles overlapping to create a vent diagram with two st
Most U.S. Jews today are read as white and benefit from whiteness. AND, the growing white nationalist movement doesn’t believe Jews are white. Two circles overlapping to create a vent diagram with two st

This week we released #UnravelingAntisemitism, a new visual work of art and discussion guide inspired by our 2017 “Understanding Antisemitism” paper. Today we’re breaking down the historical moments captioned in the poster, beautifully collaged by @katzcomics
The Roman Empire saw Jews as a backwards tribe, unwilling to accept Jesus and assimilate into imperial culture. The state made it illegal to convert to Judaism, illegal for Jews and Christians to intermarry, and illegal for a Jew to hold office or testify in court. Christianity in the Roman E...
Medieval rulers often barred Jews from owning land/joining trade guilds. Jews became overrepresented as tax collectors/money lenders for Christians w/ power. Everyday Christians often blamed Jews for harsh interest rates/taxes. That's where stereotypes of Jews and $ originate. Anti-Jewish Laws in Medieva...

@FEWCoalition is outside Gov. Cuomo's office in Midtown, celebrating Easter--a holiday of renewal--to ask "What have you sacrificed? While we were expected to sacrifice *everything*, working during the pandemic."

#FundExcludedWorkers
20 days without food; a year without relief. @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie we continue to look to you to deliver a fully accessible worker bailout fund.
"I want everyone to close their eyes and imagine what it will feel like when this Excluded Worker Fund is real, when we have won, when families no longer have to kill themselves with work day by day... This is a holiday about hope." - @AngeMariaSolis

Today’s the last day of Passover, which means Mimouna starts tonight! We wish we could all be together for Mimouna this year, but we’ll reminisce on our 2019 Mimouna celebration. A group of people celebrating and dancing indoors. They are

There's a long history of falsely portraying Jews as disease-carriers. Consider how you may be accepting or even fueling that narrative right now.

But asking people to wear masks during a pandemic is not antisemitic, & making false accusations of antisemitism doesn't help Jews.
The ultimate goal is public health. Whether or not you personally think it’s antisemitic to single out or focus on Orthodox communities, the bottom line is that stigmatizing doesn’t work! We need culturally competent education, community partnerships, testing, and tracing.
From Pro-Trump rallies in Staten Island to partiers in SoHo to the streets of Borough Park, anyone refusing to wear a mask/socially distance is recklessly putting themselves, their community & everyone they come into contact with at risk.

It's dangerous, wrong, & unacceptable.

Today, on Tisha B’Av, #JewsAgainstICE are taking action to say #NeverAgainIsNOW. Tisha B’Av is a Jewish day of mourning, and today we mourn for the people rounded up, torn from their families, thrown in cages, and deported by ICE.
We are turning our grief into action and taking to the streets to demand that tech companies stop enabling the deportation machine terrorizing immigrant communities, separating families, and putting children in cages.

#JewsAgainstICE #NoTech4ICE #NeverAgainIsNow #ClosetheCamps
We are at @amazon's store because @AWSCloud is vital to ICE’s cruelty.

Without Amazon, ICE cannot round immigrants up to imprison them in concentration camps or deport them. #JewsAgainstICE will not stay silent while tech companies profit off of cruelty.
