Please Be Aware
The hate crime trial in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting started this Tuesday. We are monitoring potential threat related matters and are working in collaboration with law enforcement. Testimony over the next few days is expected to be increasingly difficult as law enforcement will be testifying to details of that morning and what they witnessed.
Please continue to report white supremacy stickers or flyers observed to us via the Incident Report link and include a photo of the flyer or sticker.
On May 25th, the White House released its U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, which includes over 100 new actions the Administration will take to raise awareness of antisemitism and its threat to American democracy, protect Jewish communities, reverse the normalization of antisemitism, and build cross-community solidarity.
