The Jewish Community Alliance and First Coast YMCA are proud to announce a new partnership to take an active role in educating and inspiring our neighbors to build a more inclusive Northeast Florida.
Together Against Hate: Promoting Unity in Our Community is a speaker series that will address topics impacting our area including prejudices in faith, race, antisemitism, ethnicity, LGBTQ+, gender, and diverse abilities. Starting in September, influential speakers from 904Ward, JASMYN, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), The Arc Jacksonville, The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services, OneJax, and Interfaith Center, will empower our neighbors with the knowledge needed to have a voice in taking a stance against bias.
As the finale of our speaker series, local faith leaders, OneJax, and the Interfaith Center of Northeast Florida will host a panel discussion around curiosity not conversion at 7 pm on Thursday, January 18, 2024, at the Main Library in Downtown Jacksonville at 303 N. Laura Street.
The Together Against Hate partnership will culminate in a community-wide Racing Against Hate 5K Run/Walk at the Winston Family YMCA at 1 pm on Sunday, February 25, 2024.
