You may have seen recent reports about our 2024 People of Color Conference.
On Wednesday, we received a letter from four national Jewish organizations — the Jewish Federations of North America, the American Jewish Committee, Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools, and the Anti-Defamation League — regarding divisive and hurtful comments expressed on stage at PoCC. In our reply on Thursday, we reaffirmed our commitment to ensuring NAIS events are learning spaces where diverse voices come together in ways that are respectful and constructive, and we made clear that we are making meaningful changes to our speaker selection and content review processes.
Our reply letter is here.
We are committed to working with our schools to provide more tools and resources that create opportunities for deeper learning around antisemitism and for bridge-building in our communities. Access resources for schools here.
