Antisemitism: Where It Comes From & How It’s Used as a Political Tool (Tamara Shapiro) *VIRTUAL PROGRAM*
21 May , 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Antisemitism is both real and rising, and being mis-used to attack movements and initiatives for justice. In this session we will conceptualize antisemitism in the framework of a power analysis that integrates a holistic understanding about intersectional oppression and explores the role antisemitism plays in justice movements. We will review both where antisemitism came from, and how the narrative gets weaponized as a tool to disempower Black women in leadership and other marginalized communities. We will use a range of examples and explore how local grassroots communities are using a solidarity framework to reclaim ground.
