MAKE CROWN HEIGHTS SAFE AGAIN

Donation protected
The Jewish Communities in the Greater New York City Neighborhoods are currently under attack.  These attacks are coming from radicalized elements, in addition to young thugs and the mentally unstable who think Orthodox Jews are a soft target.  It is incumbent upon us New Yorkers and Americans, etc. to make sure that hate has no place here.  

Our action plan to make Crown Heights safe again includes the following:

·      creating voluntary patrols and escorts (there are over 70 volunteers from inside and outside the community who have agreed to participate)

·      Adding much needed cameras to surveil the hot spots in the neighborhoods, tying into the NYPD network

·      Add more lighting to minimize areas that attackers feel safe to attack from

·      And most importantly, providing the tools for our residents to defend themselves and no longer be easy targets.

o   We have a multitude of volunteers who are highly trained in self-defense, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, etc. who are willing to donate time to teach the defenseless how to be modern day Maccabees.  Although the instruction is free, equipment and training space is not.  This must be an ongoing initiative.

o   Purchasing pepper spray, which is street legal in NYC – and training people how to use it.

All of these safety measures come at a cost and we are counting on your blessings, good fortune and willingness to help stop this scourge of anti-Semitic hate crimes happening daily!  We thank you and wish you a prosperous, safe, peaceful 2020.
