A nonprofit organization is tackling growing attacks on the Jewish community in a splashy way—by installing bright pink billboards across the country that denounce antisemitism.
Organizations like the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League have since urged the confirmation of President Biden’s Special Envoy nominee Deborah Lipstadt, who called the rise in antisemitism “staggering” in her confirmation hearing on Tuesday.
The Vice President of the ADL’s Center on Extremism, Oren Segal, told ABC News about the importance of taking this data seriously and recognizing antisemitism and hate. “I think allyship is very, very important. And I think that we're hearing a lot from that,” said Gottesman. “We're hearing from people who are Jewish too, who feel like they are seen – people who say things like, I am so glad that I see those billboards up because it has been a really rough time right now and I'm glad to see someone is saying something.”
