Sharon, Massachusetts adopts International Definition of Antisemitism
Sharon, a suburb of Boston, has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism, making it the first town in Massachusetts to do so.
The decision was taken on 23rd March by the Select Board of Sharon after a unanimous vote, for which the work of activists Susan Price and Robert Soffer has been particularly credited.
Ms Price said: “The Town of Sharon has taken a proactive step that shows it cares about the safety of Jewish residents. The town can use this as a tool to educate its boards, departments and the broader community. It can be used to facilitate meaningful conversations and to identify antisemitic conduct, harassment, assault and vandalism.”
