The events of October 7, 2023, are a significant and emotional moment in Jewish history, highlighting a surge in global antisemitism.
The response to this antisemitism has ignited a desire among Jews, referred to as the October 8th Jew (108J), to take action and advocate for themselves.
A call is made to gather individuals who share the same concerns to strategize and discuss ways to combat rising antisemitism locally.
The initiative will not engage in political endorsements, campaigning, or protests against specific politicians, focusing instead on issues.
The effort will be grassroots, monitoring local government, school boards, and online discussions to address antisemitism.
Regular meetings will be held, both in-person and via Zoom, for social gatherings and strategic planning.
Members are encouraged to participate at their own level, whether by staying informed or taking more active roles such as speaking, writing, or making calls.
The group aims to share relevant articles and information to keep members updated on community efforts against antisemitism.
