(NEW YORK, NY, 9/22/2022) – The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned antisemitic neo-Nazi vandalism targeting a campaign sign for a Jewish congressional candidate in New York City.
The sign, which promoted Democratic House candidate for New York’s 11th District Max Rose, was vandalized with a Nazi swastika and the word ‘No!’ repeated twice. The sign was located near a synagogue.

She said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
