Statement from the Jewish Community Relations Council on the Killing of George Floyd
The Jewish Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary stands in solidarity with African American victims of violence. We are horrified at the killing of George Floyd while in police custody.
We cry out for justice. It is simply unconscionable that in today’s United States of America all peoples are not treated with dignity and humanity.
Today, we stand shoulder to shoulder with all persons of color as fellow citizens.
We reject policies of hate and separation.
We reject words and actions that divide us.
We embrace love and understanding as we stand together at this difficult time.
We embrace peaceful demonstrations of support. Violence has no place in these demonstrations.
We offer concern and support to our local businesses and facilities victimized by violence.
And we praise those who came out to help clean up and rebuild.
Judah Segal
VP, Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary
Chair, Community Relations Council
