Join me in speaking out [Democratic Attorneys General Association]( {NAME} â Colorado AG Phil Weiser here. As a proud Jew, I have not hesitated to discuss my faith or family history in public life. I am well aware of and pained by the rising levels of antisemitism and hate of all kinds that we are now witnessing in our nation. And I refuse to be silent. I discussed this threat recently at a commemoration of the Babi Yar massacre that occurred during the Holocaust. For my family, the Holocaust is personal. My grandparents and my mom survived the Holocaust, and their stories of resilience are a source of inspiration to me. Indeed, my mom is one of the youngest Holocaust survivors alive. She was born in the Buchenwald concentration camp, and she and my grandmother were liberated a week later by the U.S. Army. They made the long journey to the United States because of our nationâs commitment to freedom and opportunity for all. As a nation, we must stand up for our motto â from many, we are one (e pluribus unum) â and we must all speak out against hate and discrimination of all kinds. The same type of hate that Americaâs Jewish communities are experiencing right now surfaced when a violent attack was perpetrated against the LGBTQIA+ community in Colorado Springs. And that same hate reared its ugly head in an attack against African Americans in Buffalo last spring. As the Anti-Defamation League emphasizes, hate against one group is hate against everyone. Iâm grateful for Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff standing up and speaking out against antisemitism on a national â and international â level. We need more people speaking out against the hatred weâre facing, and I join him in this fight. We must refuse to be afraid, and we must call out hate when we see it. As Jews around the world approach the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah, we can focus on what each of us can do to bring light into darkness. That includes the work we do to overcome rising hate with love, heeding the words of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My grandmother lived that value â she remained positive, and she never gave up hope. Together, we can all do our part to heal our world, recognizing, as it is said in scripture, that while âwe are not required to complete the work, we are not free to desist from doing our part.â Thanks,
Phil Phil Weiser
