rally against anti-semitism today at 12 corners, rochester, ny: we are united in our fight against hate and bigotry.
David Kramer: While the event organizers, Hannah Brown and Milo Lomi, are Jewish, the rally was designed to bring together a diversity of groups and social justice activists. As members of the Anti-Fascist League, Hannah and Milo are especially concerned about the upsurge of white supremacist activity in our area. Brighton has both thriving Jewish and Muslim communities, and it was inspirational to see so many members of the Muslim community at the Twelve Corners in solidarity. Brighton Town Supervisor William Moehle had that morning been at the JCC lending support. Bill said that when the JCC was threatened, members of the Islamic Center in Brighton immediately called him, asking what they could do to help. On Sunday we see what can happen when people of good will gather to condemn hate. More here.
