The Jewish Community Relations Council Condemns the Violence and Insurrection in Washington DC on January 6th
The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Raleigh and Cary, here in the capital of North Carolina, condemns the lawlessness and violence that took place in our nation’s capital.
Our diverse Jewish community of Democrats, Republicans and Independents urge in the strongest possible terms that President Trump and other elected officials immediately cease incendiary rhetoric. We urge members of Congress and other responsible elected officials to speak out against the violence.
We thank law enforcement for keeping our elected officials and their staff safe. Those who have broken the law must be held accountable for their actions.
We urge Americans to stand together against politically motivated violence. We look forward to a coming year of strengthening the social fabric of our community and enhancing our ability come together to talk about issues that are important to us in the grand spirit of our American democracy and Jewish values.
Judah Segal, Chairman Jewish Community Relations Council
