This is Democracy – Episode 36: Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism: Where does it come from? What can we do about it? Zachary's poem today is, "Can't feel the raindrops, a song for Pittsburgh 10/27/18." Today's guest on the podcast is Renee Lafair, Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League in Austin, Texas. As Director of the Austin regional office of the ADL, Renee Lafair consistently reaches out to diverse populations within Austin to build a community that values diversity, equity and dignity for all.
