home equity lines: Hollywood has a Jew-hatred problem. Meet us in LA.

A few days ago, I posted a video about something that has been making me furious: Hollywood’s willingness to celebrate, elevate and protect nearly every minority voice, while too often demanding that Jews stay quiet, apologize for ourselves, or produce the “right kind” of Jew before our experiences are taken seriously.

The response told me I am far from alone.

#EndJewHatred on Instagram: "The next time someone sends you a “pick-me Jew” to explain why you’re wrong about Jew hatred, send them this video. Finding a Jew who agrees with you isn’t listening to Jews. It’s shopping for validation. Our diversity is not your loophole. Our identity is not your permission slip.

Listen to Jews. Even when we’re not saying what you want to hear. ✡️"

But saying it on Instagram isn’t enough.

On Thursday, November 12, The Lawfare Project and #EndJewHatred are bringing this fight to Los Angeles, and we need you in the room.

This is where words become action.

Join us for an intimate evening with internationally acclaimed civil rights attorney and founder of The Lawfare Project and #EndJewHatred movement, Brooke Goldstein, alongside Jewish leaders, advocates and allies who are done asking politely for Jewish civil rights to matter.

The Lawfare Project does not fight Jew-hatred with hashtags. We fight it in courtrooms, institutions and the public square, using impact litigation and legal advocacy to hold accountable those who discriminate against Jews.

This evening will support our Freedom Fund, created to stand behind Jewish artists, entertainers, activists and allies who face professional retaliation, intimidation or attempts to silence them for speaking out against Jew-hatred. The Freedom Fund turns solidarity into something tangible: resources, advocacy and support for people willing to use their voices when doing so can come at a real cost.

And right now, Los Angeles matters enormously.

Hollywood matters. Culture matters. Who gets heard matters. And the Jewish community cannot afford to retreat from any of them.

Come out. Bring someone with you. Put your outrage, your voice and your values into action.

And if you believe in this fight but can’t be with us in Los Angeles, you can still stand behind the event and the Freedom Fund. Click "RSVP & Donate" on the event page and select "I'd just like to donate." Every contribution helps us turn words into action.
