In 2017, dozens of Jewish leaders signed this letter in support of Linda Sarsour:
“We will not stand by as @lsarsour is falsely maligned, harassed and smeared."
The same is true today. Linda, we have your back and we’re grateful you’ve had ours. https://medium.com/@jewsagainstattacks/jewishleadersstatement-81242a369300

In 2018, after the Tree of Life shooting, Linda immediately asked “What can I do?”
She rallied her Muslim & progressive communities to keep Jews safe at vigils across the country — and she personally headed to DC to join Bend the Arc for a vigil in front of the White House.

In 2017, when a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis was vandalized, Linda helped launch a massive crowdfunding campaign to support repairs.
It raised over $100,000 in 24 hours — with ultimately over $160K going to Jewish cemeteries in St. Louis and Colorado. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/muslim-fundraiser-repair-jewish-cemetery-raises-100k-n724221

In June 2018, we got word that immigrant children separated from their families were being flown into LaGuardia airport.
Linda immediately joined @StoshCotler, @CrisAlexJimenez, and hundreds of New Yorkers to bear witness and show these children they were not alone.

That’s who @lsarsour is.
She has a proven track record of showing up for Jewish communities, for Black lives, for immigrant justice, for women & girls, for her Palestinian, Muslim & Arab communities.
We need more organizers like Linda. Period.
