The politicization of anti-Semitism endangers the Jewish community. Combating anti-Semitism & ALL forms of hate must be an American value, not a partisan talking point. Especially as hate crimes are on the rise (cc: @ADL), we must be vigilant against attempts to sow division.
This.
It is an honor beyond what I can describe to carry the same title as Al Vorspan and to steward @theRAC, an organization that exists because of his vision and dedication. May his memory be for a blessing. nytimes.com/2019/02/19/obi…

If we are going to have more law enforcement in schools we must be sure that we don’t increase the school to prison pipeline. An issue that disproportionately affects students of color. Remember - Register, Educate, Vote! #rev

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.
Jewish activists sit and sing over warnings from Capitol Police. We will not be moved until we get a clean #DreamActNow #LetMyPeopleStay
Couldn't be more proud of my colleagues and friends today for this powerful, peaceful action in support of Dreamers. Our community will not back down. #LetMyPeopleStay!

Today Israel's Supreme Ct. showed its great impatience with the PM's discarding the Kotel agreement. My statement: ow.ly/824d30eOOma
So inspired by the leadership, vision and strength of @URJGFC. So moved by reax to @URJorg #HurricaneHarvey relief fund. #HoustonStrong.
