Anti-Semitism isn’t taking a summer vacation. So neither can we.

On July 11 in Washington, D.C, Alliance for Israel, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, B'nai Brith International, the Israel Forever Foundation, Jewish National Fund USA, Hadassah, Combat Antisemitism Movement, the Orthodox Union, the Rabbinical Assembly, USCJ, World Jewish Congress - North America, and Union for Reform Judaism are organizing “NO FEAR: A Rally in Solidarity with the Jewish People.”

It is time for the Jewish people and our allies to speak out against antisemitism with the many voices in our resilient community. Elisha Wiesel will speak, as will victims of antisemitism and leaders across the denominational and political spectrum. Our tent is big.

We welcome all Zionist, Jewish organizations, and allies. If you believe we have a right to exist in peace and security as a Jewish people both here in the United States and in Israel, then you belong with us.

Security protocols
 
We want you to know that we enjoy the full support of the Capitol Police and the US Park Police, who have both committed an extraordinary amount of resources for the event in their respective jurisdiction. They both have considerable additional resources of their own on standby in the unlikely event that they are needed, as well as those of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. And beyond that we have retained a private security firm that is made up entirely of former U.S. Secret Service agents. The head of their Washington office also worked the U.S. Capitol area for many years and the head of the firm was in in charge of President Bill Clinton’s entire presidential protective detail. Their firm provided all of Pres. Biden’s personal security between the time he became a candidate and when he received official USSS protection.
 
We also enjoy the good counsel of the Secure Community Network (SCN) representative in Washington (who sits at DC Federation), the ADL’s expert Washington office’s intelligence resources, and another private group, very knowledgeable about our community and those who might seek to target it for ill, the details of which we prefer not to describe publicly. We hope with your understanding, we believe that taken in total, we’ve committed very substantial resources to the safety and integrity of this event. Nothing could be more important to us. It’s hard to exaggerate that in light of January 6, how much this is on not just our minds, but those of the law enforcement officials and private security personnel with whom we’re working. We appreciate your faith and trust in us that we’re taking every possible measure to ensure the safety of the event and of your attendance.
