OneJax Denounces Anti-Semitism
In the wake of the anti-Semitic fliers that were distributed in Jacksonville this week, OneJax strongly denounces this act of hatred and bigotry. We condemn the National Socialist Movement, a longstanding neo-Nazi group headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, whose name was on the flier.
We must refuse to sanction bigotry against others simply because of their faith. We stand together with our Jewish neighbors, we stand together for peace, and we stand together to build a culture of inclusion and respect in Jacksonville.
