In a groundbreaking move, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the creation of the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism, making NYC the first major U.S. city to establish such an office. This decision follows alarming statistics from the NYPD and ADL indicating a significant rise in antisemitic incidents. The office aims to coordinate city-wide efforts to combat Jew hatred through strategic legislation and community engagement, spearheaded by Moshe Davis. In light of growing antisemitism, Adams emphasizes the necessity for immediate and decisive action to protect Jewish communities.
As we continue to see the rising tide of antisemitism here at home and across the country, this moment calls for decisive action.
The Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism will be the first of its kind in a major city across the nation, and will tackle antisemitism in all of its forms.
Combating antisemitism requires a sledgehammer approach: coordinated, unapologetic, and immediate. It's essential to forge a proactive response.
Antisemitism is an attack not only on Jewish New Yorkers, but on the very idea of New York City.
