#NeverIsNow

The world is coming together at the first virtual Never Is Now, because the time is now.

The time is now to be inspired to speak out against the actions of antisemites and other extremists each time they rear their heads.

The time is now to learn effective strategies for building coalitions against hate in your community because you can’t fight hate alone.
