STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. After anti-Semitic flyers were discovered in New Dorp earlier this month and in the wake of violence at the U.S. Capitol last week, a candlelight walk and vigil was held on Staten Island Sunday evening denouncing the presence of the white supremacist propaganda.
“The purpose of this walk and candlelight vigil is for Staten Island clergy and community leaders to stand up to racism and white supremacy,” said Rev. Karen Jackson, an inter-religious leader. “We’re responding specifically to the distribution of anti-Semitic flyers here in the New Dorp neighborhood, but also, of course, to the violence we witnessed at the Capitol.”
