Please Be Aware
The defendant in the largest antisemitic attack in US history was formally sentenced to death yesterday after a long and arduous trial. We are continuing to monitor online suspicious activity related to supporters of the defendant’s antisemitic beliefs.
Congratulations to the JCC on being a recipient of the federal nonprofit (NSGP) security grant.
Please continue to report white supremacy stickers or flyers observed to us via the Incident Report form and include a photo of the flyer or sticker.
