After a spate of antisemitic attacks, we mobilized a group of diverse community leaders and organizations and ran a full-page ad in The New York Times, New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal that read: “We unequivocally condemn these attacks and all acts of antisemitism and hate in any form. We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and call on all community leaders to join us.”
On January 5, 2020, we mobilized 25,000 people — Jews and non-Jews — to march across the Brooklyn Bridge under the banner of "No Hate. No Fear." The historic march and the rally were conceived and funded by UJA, and planned along with JCRC-NY. A parallel rally took place in Jerusalem, and nearly 200 organizations participated nationwide — including our senior-most political leaders from the state, city, and Congress.
