Stand up against hate: Gather on Mon. May 20 at 6 p.m. at Arlington Town Hall in response to suspicious fires at the Center for Jewish Life of Arlington/Belmont. Malia will be there and invite all to join her.
The Arlington Human Rights Commission, the event organizer, says:
We gather in support and solidarity for the Jewish community and to empower us to take action against all acts of hate, bias and discrimination that so often lead to acts of violence.
There will be a sign-making station, candles and resources from the Anti-Defamation League and Facing History and Ourselves about community responses to incidents and education opportunities. We will also have a children’s book selection with some discussion questions for any parents who need guidance or support in how to talk to their children about difficult event (or for children in attendance who may need to be occupied).
