Remembering Charleston and Addressing Anti-Black Hate  by Pardeep Kaleka

June 17 marks eight years of mourning the beautiful lives lost at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC at the hands of white supremacist. Still, our country has much to learn about anti-Black racism, hate, and violence.

Two free community screenings in Walnut Creek and Los Angeles coming up this month. The Walnut Creek event will include a Q&A with Director Patrice O’Neill. Hosted by Campolindo and supported by iKind. The LA screening will feature a discussion with film director and community leaders led by Rabbi Sharon Brous.

Community partners include IKAR, The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, LA vs. Hate, LA Civil Rights, LA is for Everyone, The Righteous Conversations Project, ADL-LA, 30 Years After, JQ International and Newground | A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change. Join us!

We encourage every community to stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and explicitly condemn this type of hatred. We must surround communities that feel threatened and targeted. Solidarity is the solution to this type of divisive hate. We encourage every community to voice their support for their local and national Jewish neighbors.
