Members of our community are under siege. In the past several weeks, there have been a series of anti-semitic hate crimes across New York City and neighboring areas. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has reported the number of anti-semitic incidents rose almost 60% in the year that Trump took office.

On Sunday, I marched in solidarity with thousands of New Yorkers to say the rising hate perpetrated against our Jewish community has no place in New York — or anywhere else. And this fight doesn’t stop with that march. This is only the beginning of the action we’ll take to make sure our communities are safe and civil rights are protected.
