Staff Recommends: Presentation of Proclamation.
Explanation
For millennia, the Jewish people have sustained their shared religious, cultural, and ethnic identity and traditions in the face of enslavement, persecution, genocide, segregation and discrimination, and all manner of adversity. Despite the advances made in promoting social justice for other minority groups, the Jewish community has continued to be subjected to antisemitism and Jew-hatred, including discrimination in the workplace, at school, and in public spaces.
Hate crimes directed against the Jewish community have skyrocketed in recent years, inspiring the formation of a grassroots End Jew Hatred civil rights movement to alter public discourse and make Jew-hatred unacceptable in contemporary society.
The proclamation will be accepted by Jennifer Enslein, member of the #EndJew Hatred Day Civil Rights Initiative.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Proclamation will not fiscally impact the City.
