There have been 70 recorded bomb threats against Jewish institutions since the beginning of 2017. Widespread vandalism in Jewish cemeteries has been recorded in St. Louis and Philadelphia.

Our own Masood Akhtar is interviewed during the show to talk about what our group is doing to stand up and speak out in support.
