Program: Join us for a heartfelt conversation with the REACH Speakers Bureau, a group of families and survivors of the October 27th, 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. REACH speakers will share their stories of loss and hope and the ways they have faced antisemitism and experienced solidarity and community. Together we will reflect on the past, honor those who were taken on October 27th, and look towards the future and the ways we can make our world a kinder place that is free of hate.

Speakers: Family members and survivors of the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting will come together to share their personal stories and experiences and provide insight into the lasting impact of hate and violence on individuals, families, and communities. Their stories will highlight both the pain, tragedy and resilience shown in its aftermath. The program encourages participants to consider the importance of standing against antisemitism and all forms of hatred.
