Responding to antisemitic flyers found in areas of Park Slope, Brooklyn last week, local elected officials and religious leaders gathered at Congregation Beth Elohim today to decry this and other recent incidents in Brooklyn, and to stand united against hatred.
“There is no room for hate speech and intimidation against any group in our community,” said Councilmember Brad Lander who convened the press conference. “We are here today to speak out against these kind of anti-Semitic actions, and more importantly to show our united front against those who would try to divide us.
Also attending the conference were Representative Yvette Clarke, Assemblyman Jim Brennan, Councilman Steve Levin, Nazli Parvizi, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit, State Senator Daniel Squadron said.
