Justice Group,

Suzy Monroe has alerted us to a meeting that may be of interest.  The meeting will be the day before our next Justice Group meeting at St. Paul’s and so I’m broadcasting this to you now so you can have an opportunity to attend if you wish.  If you plan to go, please reply to Suzy and me just so we can be aware.

Thanks,

Michael

When we attended the Mosque on Saturday night for the Iftar after Ramadan dinner, we were given a handout about a symposium that I thought some of our Working for Justice group might be interested in attending.  Here’s what the notice says:

“Civil Rights Symposium”

HATE CRIME & HATE SPEECH

June 13, 2018   7:00- 8:30 pm

Congregation Rodef Shalom, 4905 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh  15213

Registration and Desserts at 6:30 pm.  Program will begin at 7 pm.

Please join us and representatives from the United States Attorney’s Office, FBI & State Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies to discuss Hate Speech and Hate Crime that occur right here in Western PA.           

We will discuss the laws that govern hate crimes, what to do when you encounter hate speech and present actual Hate Crime Cases that have been prosecuted in Pittsburgh.

Registration requested:    jfedpgh.org/civil-rights

Questions?  Erin Wyland at ewyland@jfedpgh.org or 412.992.5252

The full inclusion of people of all abilities is a core value of the Pittsburgh Jewish Community.  If you have a disability or need an accommodation, please contact Erin Wyland.”
