Massachusetts Action on Antisemitism After Sydney

What does it take to move from listening to action when confronting antisemitism? In this timely episode of Boston Leaders Unplugged, JCRC CEO Jeremy Burton sits down with Representative Simon Cataldo to reflect on the work and impact of the Massachusetts Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism — the first commission of its kind in the nation — against the backdrop of the recent deadly attack at a Chanukah gathering in Sydney. With Jewish communities around the world grieving and reassessing safety, this conversation explores how local action, policy, and community solidarity can make a tangible difference. Together, they discuss the Commission’s unprecedented listening process behind the Commission’s final report, key recommendations across education, public safety, and policy, and what it will take for leaders, communities, and allies to translate these findings into meaningful, sustained action across the Commonwealth.
