Let's Talk Series by Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation
On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, 7-9 p.m. EDT, Cherie R. Brown, Founder & CEO of the NCBI International (NCBI), presented Let's Talk Series: #Antisemitism is Everyone’s Concern.
This presentation offers a working definition of antisemitism. It explains how antisemitism is used to divide groups from each other and how it hurts everyone—Jews and non-Jews alike. It describes why antisemitism is particularly harmful to working-class people and how it is used to shield those who profit from an unfair system. And it concludes with action steps that Jews and allies can take to eliminate antisemitism.

Cherie R. Brown and Amy Leos-Urbel. A Jewish person is out with friends and someone makes a remark about Jews’ controlling the media. The Jewish person decides to let the comment pass, but in thinking about it later realizes it was hurtful and antisemitic. She mentions it to a trusted friend and gets brushed off with the response, “Oh, don’t say that. I know that person. They aren’t anti-Semitic.” The Jewish person suddenly doubts herself. She vows to think twice before raising the issue of antisemitism again.
