Ahead of the planned “Unite the Right” rally of white supremacists in Washington D.C. this weekend, Rabbi Jack Moline, president of Interfaith Alliance, issued the following statement:
“Nothing can undo the pain caused by last year’s violence and display of bigotry in Charlottesville. Frustratingly, the administration has done little more in the past year than continue to fan the flames of racial and religious bigotry. In 2018, it shouldn’t be so hard to forcefully disavow white supremacy. This weekend I have faith in Americans of good conscience who, unlike the president, will show great moral courage by standing up to the bigotry and hatred that will be on display in Washington, D.C. And as a man of faith, I pray for their safety as they respond to hate with the swift and unequivocal condemnation it deserves and with love.”
