It was an honor to lift up the work of @JFSSeattle today. The organization provides critical support for Jewish families as well as immigrants and refugees through a food bank, disability and financial services, and support for domestic violence survivors.
Today I met with leaders in Seattle's Jewish community to show our City's solidarity and support following Hamas' terrorist attacks. We remain committed to combating antisemitism and supporting the safety of our neighbors as they pray, process, and mourn the lives lost.
The JFS Community of Caring Luncheon brings together our community in support of JFS programs and the clients who turn to us for support. We are excited to gather in person this year, but we will also offer a livestream for those who can't attend. https://t.co/xJT1fUy49q

Last week I joined Jewish leaders for a discussion on anti-Semitism and actions the City can take to support our Jewish community. Our vision of #OneSeattle is committed to being an inclusive, welcoming place for all, and we will not tolerate hate or discrimination in any form.
