Jewish Voice for Peace-Chicago is a member of the Resist. Reimagine. Rebuild. Coalition (R3), an anti-racist group of 32 progressive organizations and labor unions determined to push back on the local and state level against a right wing agenda that threatens our values, our communities and our lives.

Join R3 this Saturday as part of a national Day of Action against white supremacy.

White supremacy has been ever-present in the history of the United States. The overt pronouncements of anti-Black racism, antisemitism, and nazism at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville were an appalling display of the dangerous ideologies emboldened by the Trump presidency.

We honor and are grateful for all those who stood up so bravely against the attempt to terrorize Black people, Jews, and communities of color in Charlottesville. As a multiracial Jewish organization, we are more committed today than ever to help build the numbers of people standing up and fighting back. We will keep fighting antisemitism, white supremacy and Islamophobia. We will show up for each other wherever we need to be. (More from JVP's response to Charlottesville here).

Join R3 this Saturday as the coalition participates in a wave of events and vigils led by the Movement for Black Lives around the country, at monuments that have become touch stones for right wing white supremacists. Here in Chicago, we will be gathering at at Stephen Douglas's Tomb, 636 E. 35th Street, Chicago, IL. Stephen Douglas was a 19th century Illinois politician and slaveholder who donated land to help establish the University of Chicago. Organizers have been demanding that the university develop a reparations plan in response.

RSVP here to be connected with the rest of the JVP contingent!
