On November 10, 2024, hundreds gathered in Thornhill for a Rally for Humanity, bringing together speakers and attendees from diverse backgrounds.
All are united in a common cause of standing up for our Canadian values, which is encompassed in a proclamation that all are being encouraged to sign. The antisemitism that is growing in Canada is a symptom of the erosion of our values. We must stand together and encourage others to do so as well.
Take a moment and add your signature to the proclamation and demand action.
PROCLAMATION OF UNITY AGAINST ANTISEMITISM
Toronto, Ontario - November 10, 2024
As faith leaders, community members, and proud Canadians, we are united in our commitment to uphold Canada as a place of respect, safety, and unity for all. Deeply concerned by the rising tide of antisemitism and division, we pledge to protect the values that make this country a beacon of peace and strength.
Together, we call on our local, provincial, and federal leaders to defend Canada’s values and combat division by:
Fulfilling their duty as elected officials to ensure the safety of Jewish individuals from hate speech, harassment, abuse, and violence.
Ensuring that the police and judiciary carry out their duties to arrest, charge, and prosecute all criminal acts and charge antisemitic acts as hate crimes.
Protecting our schools and communities to keep them safe, inclusive, and free from harassment, threats, and intimidation, fostering a Canada where every child and citizen feels a sense of proud belonging.
With this proclamation, we demand accountability and justice, meeting intolerance, discrimination, and antisemitism with unwavering resolve. Our Canada is strong, safe, and indivisible – we will protect it and honour it.
