Marla Decker, Council Candidate for Ward 2,  Speaks out against  Antisemitism Expressed at Hoboken Council Meeting

“With antisemitism surging around the nation, it is especially important that we all make our voices heard whenever it surfaces in our own communities,” said Marla Decker. ” I condemn the antisemitism expressed by a member of the public at last night’s Council meeting.  As a Councilmember, I will stand up against bigotry in our community.  Hoboken’s diversity is its strength and a slur against any segment or our community is an attack against the right of every Hobokenite to feel safe and valued here.”

When commenting on the appointment of an Asian American Municipal Judge, a member of the public said, “it is about as diverse as all the people that have been plucked out of synagogues and all the synagogues that run the city of Hoboken.”
