This Week in Canadian Jewish Advocacy, October 9, 2022
CIJA is dedicated to helping Jewish Ontarians take part in the democratic process. We have launched an election hub to share what local leaders can do to fight antisemitism and provide valuable information about voting in communities across the province.
Watch this panel discussion about the elections co-hosted by CIJA, UJA Genesis, and CJPAC. You’ll learn more about some of the issues at stake, why each of the positions up for election are important, and how you can have a meaningful impact.
Canada’s Jewish community is one of the primary targets of hate. But antisemitism is not a “Jewish problem.” It is a social issue for all Canadians to consider: Do they want a country that rejects or welcomes minorities?
CIJA's Richard Marceau weighs in on the need for our government’s full support in combating hate on the streets and online.
