Dear supporter,

We at Right To Be stand with the Jewish community in the wake of rising antisemitic hate incidents.

An article published today by Gothamist reveals record numbers of hate incidents against the Jewish community in New York City in the first three months of this year. The data shows a total of 86 incidents were reported since January 1st, making the Jewish community the most targeted hate crime victims in New York City. Of the 524 hate crimes recorded in the city last year, 198 were designated as anti-Jewish and 131 as anti-Asian.

Today we want the Jewish community to know: we've got your back. You have the right to be safe and free from fear. The responsibility to combat antisemitism is a responsibility that each one of us holds. At Right To Be we believe that we should all step up to do our part. In partnership with T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, we have created a free Bystander Intervention to Stop Antisemitic Harassment training to make sure that our communities are equipped to intervene safely and effectively when antisemitism strikes. This training uses Right To Be’s 5Ds of bystander intervention methodology to teach people how to respond if they witness anti-Jewish hate incidents.

We want to make sure that everyone has the tools they need to show up in moments of crisis. We invite you to register for our upcoming training:

• April 20, 2022 2:30 PM ET. Register here.

We can’t accept these continuous acts of hate as normal. Let’s all work together to disrupt harassment and turn the care we have for each other into action. We hope to see you there!

With love, 

Right To Be, formerly Hollaback!
