The Charlottesville Case: Opposing White Nationalism

Do you want to do something about white nationalist violence?
Once in a generation, a case comes along that can change history. On Wednesday, November 13, Congregation Emanu-El is honored to be hosting Integrity First for America (IFA), a   non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to holding accountable those who threaten longstanding principles of our democracy. IFA is taking on the leadership of the white nationalist movement in a landmark court case to send a clear message that violent hate has no place in our country.
Join Rabbi Jason Rodich in conversation with the lead attorneys on the case: Roberta Kaplan, who successfully argued for marriage equality before the US Supreme Court; Karen Dunn, an award-winning trial attorney; and Amy Spitalnick,   IFA's Executive Director.
This event is co-sponsored by Grace Cathedral, the Jewish Center for Justice, the Jewish Community Federation, the Jewish Community Relations Council, the Religious Action Center, the San Francisco Interfaith Council, Sha'ar Zahav, and the Unity Group.
