Today marks four years since 11 people at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue were murdered by an antisemitic xenophobe. The community, which included several Holocaust survivors, had come together for Shabbat services. Like all people, they deserved safety in their place of worship.

Unfortunately, right-wing public figures continue to spread antisemitic stereotypes that put Jewish people in danger.

This month, Kanye West incited violence against Jewish people using stereotypes that have been used to oppress Jews for thousands of years. This comes after multiple anti-Black statements by West.

White nationalist groups came out in support, seeing their views normalized. One group dropped a banner in LA stating “Kanye was right about the Jews” while its members did the Nazi salute.

Then Trump equated Jews with Israelis (which is antisemitc and wrong) and outright threatened Jews in the U.S., posting online that they “have to get their act together and appreciate” his actions related to Israel “before it is too late.”

We must join together against antisemitism in all its forms.

Add your name to commit to take action in solidarity with Jewish people and against antisemitism.

Here are some steps non-Jews can take to act in solidarity with Jewish people:

Take the time to learn how antisemitism is central to white supremacy and white nationalism.

Learn to recognize harmful disinformation and tropes—and call them out if you hear them.

For example, the word “globalists” is a dog-whistle, used to convey old lies and tropes about a powerful group “pulling the strings.” This antisemitic disinformation endangers Jewish people, and it’s regularly used to undermine social movements for progress—implying that Black, brown, and trans people can’t lead their own movements. And it distracts us from those in power weaponizing these stereotypes to hurt ALL of us.

We know that every human being, regardless of their background, deserves dignity and safety.

But for thousands of years, people in power have scapegoated Jewish people at times of societal upheaval.

Fascist and authoritarian movements continue to stoke hatred and fear to divide the rest of us, hoping we’ll blame each other rather than joining together in solidarity to make change happen.

Now, the Republican Party and its media allies are normalizing antisemitic conspiracy theories. These theories cast white cis men as victims, while demonizing marginalized communities.

They want to limit who is considered to “belong” in this country, and who is considered worthy of care.

But we all belong. We all deserve care. Our shared enemy is NOT each other.

We must come together to push back against antisemitism, scapegoating, and white nationalism. To win, we need to build solidarity across marginalized identities. Showing up for each other is part of how we build a multiracial democracy where everyone thrives.

We must recognize our shared humanity and fight for one another, speaking up whenever we can against hate.

Add your name to commit to take action in solidarity with Jewish people and against antisemitism.

May our collective action build a more just world. May we continue to build a multracial democracy where all of us are safe and can thrive.

May we continue to push back against the oppression of marginalized people everywhere and see everyone’s humanity—including Jewish people’s humanity, Palestinians’ humanity, Black people’s humanity, queer and trans people’s humanity, and on and on.

Everyone deserves safety, and together, we can help keep one another safe.

In solidarity,

Rashida
