    Mayor Brandon Johnson organizes forum to address antisemitism and other forms of hate, with some invitees absent

    Mayor Brandon Johnson hosted a roundtable on antisemitism with local Jewish and political leaders Monday, but some key invitees skipped the event, citing a need for tangible action from the city. The forum, held just before the Passover holiday, took place as antisemitic flyers were found in Lincoln Park with a substance resembling rat poison.

    Approximately 20 elected officials and community leaders gathered to discuss ways the city can combat antisemitism. Marty Levine, a coordinating committee member of Jewish Voice for Peace Chicago, expressed optimism about the willingness to start the conversation and work together to address the issue.

    State Sen. Robert Peters highlighted the importance of engaging a diverse range of groups in combating antisemitism, noting its connection to racism and other forms of hate. He emphasized the need for unity in the face of recent antisemitic incidents.

    However, some notable figures, including Ald. Debra Silverstein, chose not to attend the meeting, stating a preference for concrete actions over discussions. Silverstein emphasized the importance of vocalizing opposition to antisemitism and tracking hate incidents, especially with the recent passage of the “Chi vs. Hate” ordinance.

    Moving forward, efforts to educate young residents and update anti-hate infrastructure were highlighted as key strategies in the fight against antisemitism. The importance of restorative justice and building relationships between those committing hateful acts and those affected by them was also emphasized.

    Despite the absence of some key figures at the roundtable, there is hope for continued dialogue and collaboration in addressing antisemitism in the city. The upcoming meeting with police and the Anti Defamation League to discuss investigations into recent antisemitic incidents demonstrates a commitment to taking concrete steps in combating hate.
