Duration
24 months
Description
Since 1912, the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh has been dedicated to building a thriving, engaged Jewish community in the Pittsburgh area. In 2021, the federation launched the inaugural Eradicate Hate Global Summit, which served as a forum to discuss and promote ideas for combatting hate, preventing hate crimes and other acts of hate-induced violence, and advancing justice for victims of such crimes. The conference was inspired by the October 27, 2018, mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh—the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in American history. With Corporation support, the federation will host the 2022 and 2023 Eradicate Hate Global Summits. It will bring together experts from a wide range of disciplines and geographies and encourage constructive dialogue on how communities and governments can counter the proliferation of hate-induced violence.
