Jewish Ally: Uniting Canadian Voices Against Antisemitism and Advocating for Political Accountability

Today marks the official launch of "Jewish Ally", a new organization based in Toronto tasked with uniting Canadians against the troubling rise of antisemitism. This initiative emerges in response to the rising tide of hatred targeting the Jewish community, particularly following the events of October 7th, 2023.

Jewish Ally aims to bridge this gap, fostering a common front to counter antisemitism. The organization is dedicated to the following core goals:

Unity in Voice and Action: Uniting the Canadian Jewish community with allies to amplify their collective voice against antisemitism.

Response to event of October 7th 2023: Addressing the surge in hate crimes since the Hamas attacks on October 7th, through education and engagement.

Fostering Dialogue and Understanding: Connecting people through events to promote open dialogue and stronger community bonds.

Advocacy Against Inadequate Leadership Response: Holding Canadian leaders accountable for slow or negligent responses to the Jewish community's concerns.

Empowering Canadians for Political Action: Educating the public on advocating effectively for the Jewish community and its allies.

Jewish Ally's approach is multifaceted, encompassing advocacy, education, and community engagement. The organization plans to leverage social media, public events, and educational campaigns to reach a wide audience. Additionally, Jewish Ally will collaborate with other organizations and influencers to amplify its message and impact.

Jewish Ally invites all Canadians who stand against antisemitism and who support the Jewish community to join this movement. We invite you to participate in our advocacy campaigns, or to simply spread the word. Every action counts.
