John,
Hundreds of Canadians are
coming together
in Ottawa in 12 days at Antisemitism: Face It, Fight
It, the
first-ever wide-scale convening of Jewish Canadians and community
allies to face, fight, and push back against antisemitism.
Will you join us?
Through advocacy training and seminars featuring more than 30
Canadian and international experts, and face-to-face meetings with
decision-makers, we will leave empowered and equipped to stand up to
modern-day antisemitism, as individuals and as a national Jewish
community.
We are going to meet everyday Canadians turned community advocates and
activists. They
will share their
stories of how they didn’t
just face antisemitism but fought it. Moderator Mike
Fegelman,
Editor-in-Chief of Honest Reporting Canada, and the panel, from students to
CEOs, will share
their lived
experiences that
led to them
becoming activists.
