2) Speak out against antisemitism, both current and historical/doctrinal, even if there are no Jews around to see it happen. This includes challenging supersessionism and paternalistic or derogatory statements about Jews.
3) amplify info about and show up to actions when you see that we’re planning something.
4) don’t appropriate our stuff/play Jew. You wearing a kippah doesn’t make us safer, and imho it’s v. problematic.
