The Independent Jewish Voices announces a webinar titled “How IHRA Harms Us: An Anti-Racist Conversation on Weaponized Anti-Semitism”. Anti-racist scholars and activists will be placed in conversation on how the struggles against Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, and anti-Semitism are intertwined with the fight to resist the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. It will discuss how the IHRA definition continues to harm anti-racist movements in Canada, what can be done instead to combat these forms of racism, and how to build a multi-claim movement fighting against Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, and anti-Semitism. Speakers include Dr. Yasmine Zine, a Professor of Sociology and Religion & Culture at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, Dania Majid, the president of the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association, Rowan Gaudet, a scholar and researcher at the IJV, and Rima, the recovering former NDP MPP for Beaches-East York. The webinar will take place on June 28 at 6:00 pm in Montreal.For further details, click here
