“Today in Washington DC, on the one-year anniversary of the tragedy in Charlottesville, white supremacists, attempting to spread their message of hate gathered in front of the White House. These groups came to Washington, DC to try to instill fear in our communities. NCJW denounces the hatred being spewed by neo-Nazis, alt-right, the KKK, and all white supremacists.

“We mourn the loss of Heather Heyer, who was murdered while protesting at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville last year. We unite to celebrate her life, mourn her loss, and join together to continue her message of unity and tolerance.

“A year later, we continue to urge the White House and elected leaders to combat hate speech against people of color, Jewish people, LGBTQ communities, and all who may be seen as the “other.” NCJW will not back down from our fight against hate and white supremacy, and will work towards justice and unity in our democracy.”
