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.

The full inclusion of people of all abilities is a core
value of the Pittsburgh Jewish Community. If you have a disability or
