Take action now - thank Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante and tell her not to back down!On Tuesday, January 28th, IJV won an important victory after Montreal's City Council refused to adopt the IHRA's controversial redefinition of antisemitism. But now, CIJA is trying to pressure the Plante administration to reconsider their position. We have to let her know that we support Montreal's decision NOT to adopt the IHRA!We are asking our members and supporters, especially if you live in Montreal, to take a moment and send a letter your City Councillor and Mayor Valerie Plante applauding them for their stance against the IHRA, and urging them to not back down to pressure.If you are Jewish, we encourage you to mention that in your letter.

Your strong leadership in dealing with this complex question should be commended. Antisemitism is a real and dangerous problem that needs to be fought. I am confident that the Montreal City Council will not back down from putting in place the means to combat not only antisemitism, but also any form of bigotry that threatens the social cohesion of the Montreal community. I thank you for having recognized the very real dangers that weigh on our communities and for having chosen to prioritize the fight for human rights for all people. The pro-Israel lobby in Quebec and Canada will mobilize to put pressure on you individually, as well as Projet Montreal. Rest assured that you will have support in standing up to this pressure. Submit
