We applaud the efforts to make education in schools a part of New York City's response to the surge in hate crimes. When our students have a better understanding of hate and the tools to respond, all communities will benefit. qchron.com/editions/queen…

We applaud Baylor University University for making "civil discourse" a primary focus of campus activity this year. Our country needs more people who take a constructive approach to highly divisive issues and navigate social tensions with mutual respect.news.web.baylor.edu/news/story/202…

We are thrilled to see the House in the Commonwealth of PA designate May as Jewish American Heritage Month and July as Muslim American Heritage Month. We need to celebrate the unique contributions of our communities to help strengthen the social fabric of 🇺🇸

Wonderful to see President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and @SecondGentleman celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month at the White House. It is important to uplift Jewish Americans’ voices and showcase the many contributions of the community to our rich American landscape.

Great to see the progress made to address hate crimes in California. Funding for a hate crimes hotline to connect victims with needed services was made available through the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, a bipartisan bill that MJAC championed. latimes.com/california/sto…

MJAC was honored to present at Dept. of Agriculture's “The Summit to Counter Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Related Forms of Hatred and Bias in Rural America” hosted by Tri-Faith Initiative. America thrives when we work together to push back against hate of all kinds. 3newsnow.com/west-omaha/bui…

People of faith play an important role in preventing anti-Muslim & anti-Jewish hate in communities. Join @S2Scampaign with special guests from Interfaith America for a program on "Understanding & addressing anti-Muslim & anti-Jewish hate & discrimination." eventbrite.com/e/understandin…

No one should be targeted for their faith and this hit-and-run crash outside a mosque in Minneapolis is reprehensible. We thank City of Minneapolis for investigating this incident as possible hate crime, & we hope those responsible are brought to justice. kstp.com/kstp-news/loca…

Few haters limit their hate to just one group. Glad to see a man responsible for multiple hate crimes (antisemitic, anti-female, and anti-White) indicted for his actions. amny.com/news/brooklyn-…

Communities of all faith backgrounds have benefitted from the interfaith leadership of Dr. Sayyid Syeed, a founding member of MJAC and longtime bridge-builder.

Great to see mosques and other houses of worship prioritizing disability inclusion in their spaces. Access for all community members to religious life is an expression of a deep value and a model for other sectors of society. religionnews.com/2024/05/20/acc…

A community was shaken when a man used his car in an attempted attack against visibly Jewish people outside a Jewish school in Brooklyn, NY. We are grateful to NYPD Hate Crimes for arresting and charging the alleged attacker appropriately. abc7ny.com/post/brooklyn-…

We thank MJAC Philadelphia member and PA State Representative Representative Tarik Khan for honoring Jewish History Month and recognizing Rabbi Heschel.

To confront bigotry and the violence it fuels we must understand it. These film-makers, one the victim of a hate crime, show that hate can be overcome and even in some cases transformed into respect. king5.com/video/entertai…

Wonderful to see Jews, Christians, and Muslims joining hands to clean up the Des Plaines trail in Illinois. This heartwarming collaboration is a beautiful testament to our shared humanity, united in service for the common good. dailyherald.com/20240528/submi…
