After last month's anti-Semitic attacks in Monsey, NY, I posted a statement on the rise of anti-Semitism in the United States -- because as the granddaughter of Holocaust refugees, I know that silence is complicity.
In response, I got hundreds of anti-Semitic comments in my social media feed from people who were trying to intimidate me into silence.
But I won't be intimidated, and I won't be silenced, and I hope you'll stand with me to fight hate. If you’re with me, add your name here to help us reach 10,000 signatures.

Friend,
After the horrific hate crime in Monsey where five people were stabbed at a rabbi’s home during Chanukah, I posted a series of tweets responding to the attacks and the rise of anti-Semitism in our country.
On the one hand, the hateful responses I received didn't surprise me because I'm a Jewish woman in the United States of America -- this is not my first experience of anti-Semitism.
On the other hand, they shocked me because they were so vile and so virulent, and a very sad indicator of serious and widespread trends we need to confront in our country. We have to acknowledge this is happening. This is not an isolated incident.
We have a president who regularly spews this kind of hatred while praising other people who do the same. He is actively fostering an environment of hate.
History has shown us over and over and over again that when you foster an environment where these kinds of verbal and physical assaults are not only accepted but are excused, we end up in very serious trouble.
Will you join me in speaking out and speaking up against the rise of hate in our country? If you’re with me, add your name to help us reach 10,000 signatures.

I learned as a young child from my family's history that silence is complicity.
To defeat hate, everybody must step up and do their part.
In solidarity,
Dana
