Understanding Replacement Theory: A National Jewish Community Call Thursday, May 19 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT

In moments like these, it’s crucial to come together in community.

The horrific targeted murder of ten Black people in Buffalo, NY this past weekend is yet another manifestation of a dangerous white nationalist ideology. That ideology connects this tragedy to other acts of deadly violence, including against Jewish people in Pittsburgh and Latinx people in El Paso.

Join Bend the Arc for a national Jewish community call tomorrow, Thursday May 19, at 8pm ET / 5pm PT to make meaning of this moment and understand the politics and history driving white nationalist terror.

Understanding Replacement Theory:
A National Jewish Community Call

Thursday, May 19 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT

 

Speakers will include Ginna Green, Bend the Arc Board Secretary and Partner at Uprise, and Ben Lorber, Research Analyst at Political Research Associates.

On the call, we’ll discuss the history and context of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory to better understand the connections between antisemitism, anti-Blackness, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant ideologies — and how we must respond in solidarity.

RSVP to join us tomorrow evening.

In solidarity,

The Bend the Arc team
