National Day of Action Against Antisemitism

AJC has declared October 27, 2019 a National Day of Action Against Antisemitism – a day dedicated to educating our fellow citizens about this shape-shifting evil and to advocating for more robust measures to combat it. This day of action marks one year since the worst antisemitic attack in American history – the murder of 11 Jewish worshippers in Pittsburgh.

The governors of Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Iowa, and Virginia; the mayors of Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., and many other elected officials – see below for a running list – across the country have issued proclamations declaring October 27, 2019 a day of awareness about the rise of antisemitism in America.
