LOCATION CHANGE
We will be meeting at FEDERAL PLAZA at 4:00 PM TODAY and will march from there to the JUF office at 30 S. Wells.
No Time For Silence
As JVP's Executive Director Rebecca Vilkomerson put it in a recent column in The Hill (http://jewishvoiceforpeace.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44fda0b60aa5102296294048f&id=48c04219ce&e=079ae7db83), "the last week has unfolded like a slow-moving nightmare." News of appointments of full-blown white supremacists keep rolling in.
Among those getting the most attention is that of Steve Bannon to the post of chief strategist. Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, is a well-known racist, anti-Semite, Islamophobe, anti-LGBT misogynist who has proudly declared that Breitbart serves as the platform for the "alt-right," a euphemism for white supremacists.
This is no time for silence. And yet, silence is exactly what we have heard both from Steven Nasatir, President of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago (JUF) and from the JUF's parent organization, the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA).
Pressed to speak out against Bannon's appointment, the JFNA has merely responded that "Trump needs to be given an opportunity to lead." No word at all has been heard from Nasatir or the JUF.
RSVP here (http://jewishvoiceforpeace.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44fda0b60aa5102296294048f&id=0533a1f2ca&e=079ae7db83) to join JVP-Chicago TODAY at 4:00 pm at Federal Plaza, from which we'll march to the JUF office at 30 S. Wells, to call on Steven Nasatir to break his silence and denounce Steve Bannon's appointment.
Nasatir and the JUF's silence in the face of blatant anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds at the highest levels of power stands in stark contrast to their willingness to label organizers for Palestinian rights anti-Semitic.
As Rebecca put it, "what we are seeing is a toxic stew of racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism that remarkably converges on one point: support for Israel". Bigotry of all kinds can be overlooked in the eyes of Nasatir and many Jewish communal leaders.
Silence in the face of injustice is complicity. Last week, we gathered in Oak Lawn to join interfaith partners in solidarity with the Muslim community. Pictures are available here (http://jewishvoiceforpeace.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=44fda0b60aa5102296294048f&id=0aba21919d&e=079ae7db83), and video here (http://jewishvoiceforpeace.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=44fda0b60aa5102296294048f&id=f1b948f25b&e=079ae7db83).
Now, we need you to RSVP here (http://jewishvoiceforpeace.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44fda0b60aa5102296294048f&id=e1001193ab&e=079ae7db83) to join JVP-Chicago TODAY at 4:00 pm at Federal Plaza, from which we'll march to the JUF office at 30 S.
