Pittsburgh City Controller Rachael Heisler will speak about her personal and public efforts to combat antisemitism and the need for more non-Jews to speak out. In 2023, Heisler filed an objection in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas to stop the proposed ballot referendum seeking to prohibit Pittsburgh from working with companies doing business with Israel.
