UC Davis Investigating ‘reprehensible’ Anti-Semitic Posters Found on Campus
The Islamic Networks Group (ING) forwarded a link to SiVIC for an article in the LA Times regarding anti-Semitic flyers that went up at UC Davis. Some were also found at UC Berkeley. This type of hate speech is antithetical to everything that our Bay Area Interfaith groups stand for. We need to be vigilant and use our voices against such hate rhetoric.
SiVIC will always show our support for those religions that are the victims of hate speech and violence.
Here is the link to the LA Times article: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-ucdavis-flyers-20181009-story.html
