We must strongly denounce all forms of hate and antisemitism. Everyone deserves to feel safe and free of fear. Sadly though, this has not been the case. It's important we never stay silent, but speak out forcefully against recent acts of antisemitism and violence. When one remains silent, hate and intolerance manifest. I stand with my Jewish neighbors, and will continue to support legislation to combat hate and support critical funding to increase security at our synagogues and community centers."
