SUMMARY:Shane Burley + Ben Lorber\, Building “Safety Through Solidarity” (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:How can we stand in solidarity with those seeking justice while also avoiding antisemitism? How do we resist those who seek to conflate the two? How do we forge coalitions across communities in order to overcome the politics of division and fear? Two activist journalists present a progressive\, intersectional approach to the vital question: “What can we do about antisemitism?” \n \nAntisemitism is on the rise today: from synagogue shootings by white nationalists\, to right-wing politicians and media figures pushing George Soros conspiracy theories. It’s clear that exclusionary nationalist movements are growing. By spreading division and fear\, they put Jews\, along with other marginalized groups and multiracial democracy itself\, at risk. \nAnd since the outbreak of war in Gaza\, debates around antisemitism have become more polarized and have higher stakes than ever. \nUsing personal stories\, historical deep dives\, frontline reporting\, and interviews with leading changemakers\, Burley and Lorber’s “Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism” helps us break the current impasse to understand how antisemitism works\, what’s missing in contemporary debates\, and how to build true safety through solidarity for Jews and all people. \n \nModerated by: Diana Dvora Falchuk\, MSW\, is a mother\, artist\, facilitator\, activist\, strategist\, coach and policymaker dedicated to growing the capacity of Jews and non-Jews to dismantle racism and antisemitism\, repair related ruptures and build together toward collective justice\, healing and thriving. She works across the U.S. and internationally through her own consultancy and as a senior advisor with Diaspora Alliance. \n  \n \nPart of the “Chew on This!” Speaker Series theme: Roots & Resilience. \nSigned books will be mailed after the program.   \nIn partnership with Jewish Book Council. \n\nABOUT:  \nShane Burley is a journalist based in Portland\, Oregon. He is the author or editor of four books on social movements\, including “Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism\, Resistance\, and Surviving the Apocalypse” (AK Press\, 2022). His work has been featured on NBC News and in The Baffler\, The Daily Beast\, Jewish Currents\, Haaretz\, and Yes! Magazine. \nBen Lorber is a Senior Research Analyst at Political Research Associates\, a social movement think tank\, where he studies and publishes on antisemitism and white Christian nationalism. Prior\, he worked supporting justice-driven young Jewish communities across the country and writes extensively on antisemitism\, Israel/​Palestine\, and Jewish identity.  \n\nSJCC Virtual Event Details + Box Office Policies  \n\n ALL SALES FINAL | NO REFUNDS | NO EXCHANGES | NO CREDITS\n Ticket sales close and Zoom registration link emailedone (1)hour before showtime. \n Facility and ticket processing fees apply at checkout.\n Patrons agree to all SJCC terms and conditions above and at SJCC Box Office + Venue Policies.\n\nNeed Help?\nContact BoxOffice@sjcc.org | 206-388-0833 (email best for a quick response!)\nVisit SJCC Arts + Ideas Box Office for full list of policies.
