No Place for Hate in Nashville 

We thank everyone locally and nationally who expressed collective outrage regarding the offensiveness of Nazi and Holocaust imagery to promote a political agenda here in Nashville. This level of willful ignorance and craven cruelty is a disservice to the memory of the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust. The Jewish community of Nashville is heartfelt in appreciation of everyone who messaged us, commented, posted and acted to ensure that hate does not thrive in our community.
 
In the coming days, the Jewish community will continue to call on all Nashvillians, including religious, civic, business and political organizations and leaders, to work with us to make sure that our community is one of respect, love, and belonging. This is a time to continue to come together as a community with positive action, to ensure that Nashville is a no hate community, where everyone feels safe, welcome and included.
 
The immediate action requested is to urge Members of Congress to help fight antisemitism. This form makes it easy to automatically email or call your representatives.
 
We encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram where we will continue to post updates on the actions that are being taken.
