Confronting Anti Semitism and Islamophobia in 2023

Anti-Semitism has been on the rise in recent years in the US. After the attacks of October 7, 2023, anti-Semitic incidents have spiked even more across the United States and the world, followed by a similar rise in Islamophobic incidents. Many of these troubling incidents are taking place in schools, colleges, and educational settings that claim to protect students from hate, but are failing in this moment.
Listen to this webinar to hear from Jewish and Muslim community leaders about their experiences with religious and ethnic-based hate and marginalization; the connections between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia; and strategies on how to respond to hate and discrimination when you witness or experience it. Speakers include:
Rabbi Birdie Becker, a Jewish educator, rabbi, dancer, and musician from the Denver area
Nadeen Ibrahim, a Muslim community organizer in Denver
Dr. Reema Wahdan, a Muslim community organizer in Denver, and a Board member of YCD
This webinar was hosted and moderated by Jayda W., a member of the YCD Colorado Student Board.
