World Jewish Congress: URGENT LETTER OF SUPPORT
As the heralded diplomatic voice of Jewish communities across the United States and globally, the World Jewish Congress is demanding that governments take every action to protect their Jewish citizens and ensure swift and sure punishment for perpetrators of hatred and violence. Antisemitism, the world’s oldest and most pernicious form of racism, continues to manifest itself through violence and intimidation directed at Jews, as well as attacks against Jewish religious freedom, traditions, and religious and communal sites and institutions. It must not be allowed to continue unchecked. Please sign the letter of support to protect Jewish citizens around the globe. Every signature, every voice, can make a world of difference.
