Sen. Elena Parent Condemns Anti-Semitic Actions in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody

ATLANTA (February 6, 2023) | Sen. Elena Parent (D – Atlanta), Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus, has made the following statement on the acts of anti-Semitism that took place on Sunday in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody:

“Along with my colleagues at the Georgia Capitol, regardless of political affiliation, I condemn the hate that littered the driveways of many Jewish Georgians on Sunday morning. Receiving this kind of message in any form, knowing someone who did or just hearing about it in the news raises the alarm for all of us. I am committed to working against any hateful speech or act against any group. I stand with my Jewish neighbors as well as those across Georgia and throughout our country in fighting hate, whether it be based on religion, gender, race, origin, or physical or intellectual ability. We must all work together to take action every time this venom rears its ugly head to protect our individual freedom and the collective values we cherish.”
