Still no action from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, almost 1 month after CCHR provided their recommendations to protect the Chicago Jewish community. We recently joined Jewish leaders, allies, lawmakers & victims to say that his inaction is unacceptable! abc7chicago.com/post/jewish-le…

We were pleased to lead this effort, and we are grateful to @GovBraun for signing this bill into law. Thank you to all who partnered with us to get this win: @Indy_JCRC, @DantAdvocacy, Indiana lawmakers, volunteers, and people like you who continue to support our work.

Rebecca Weininger & Sr. Dir., Global Research & Diplomatic Affairs, Aykan Erdemir, met with @GreeceInUSA Amb. Antonis Alexandridis & Greek diplomatic leaders on Greece’s unprecedented progress in combating antisemitism. Grateful for the honest conversation and strong allyship.

2/ @ADL’s work against anti-Jewish hate wherever we find it is more important than ever. We hope the Mayor of a city where 1/3 of all hate crimes impacted the Jewish community, understands our concerns and takes the fight against antisemitism seriously.

1/ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's decision to appear on Hasan Piker's podcast is deeply troubling. Mayor Johnson cannot ignore that Piker has used his large platform to consistently endorse and praise a U.S.-designated terrorist organization and minimize related violence. 🧵

We are grateful to the @ChiCCHR for unanimously adopting our recommendations to protect Jewish Chicagoans.

We applaud @ChiCouncil for unanimously joining 35+ states and ~100 municipalities in adding antisemitism and the IHRA definition to its Human Rights Ordinance. This historic step affirms the Jewish community is valued, & that hate has no place in Chicago. jns.org/chicago-adopts…

We are disappointed that the punishment does not fit the crime. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/s…

This year has been one of many challenges, but we're grateful for your partnership in the fight against antisemitism and hate. #HappyThanksgiving from our @ADL family to yours.

We’re saddened for the community of Milwaukee Synagogue for Russian Jews, whose large outdoor menorah was toppled. More painful because the community was established to be a refuge from antisemitism abroad. Thank you @MilwaukeePolice for investigating. jsonline.com/story/news/cri…

We celebrate Hersh’s Fridge in Skokie. It’s a powerful tribute to Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s legacy and a testament to Jewish values of compassion, dignity, and community care. We are grateful for your dedication to repairing the world. #TikkunOlam timesofisrael.com/chicago-teens-…

Congratulations, @MayorFrey, on a successful reelection campaign that earned you a third term as @CityMinneapolis mayor.

Grateful to @MinneapolisPD for their continued efforts to find those responsible for hate graffiti & for prioritizing the safety of the @templeisraelmn community. Please contact law enforcement if you have information that could aid the investigation. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

We stand in solidarity with the congregation in the face of this hate and thank the local police for working to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.

Tuesday night, during the holiday of Sukkot and on the 2nd anniversary of Oct 7, Minneapolis' Temple Israel was vandalized with threatening, antisemitic graffiti, including references to the 10/7 massacre. cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

Shanah Tova! May this Rosh Hashanah bring renewal, joy, and peace. Wishing everyone a sweet and meaningful new year. 🍎🍯

Thank you @TeamPillen for working with us to identify and implement policies to combat antisemitism and hate in Nebraska.

On #September11, 2001, the world was forever changed. Members of Al-Qaeda perpetrated the deadliest act of terror in US history. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the nearly 3,000 people killed 24 years ago today. May their memories forever be a blessing.
