Los Angeles has one of the largest Latinx and Jewish communities in the United States. Culture, history and community are common threads. Holocaust Museum LA will host “Building Bridges: Latinx and Jewish Communities” at 5 p.m. on July 14.
The event asks the questions: “How do shared values unite us? What can people who occupy both spaces teach us? How is the Los Angeles community unique? And how can we continue to build stronger ties and more accepting spaces?”
Panelists will include Antonio Villaraigosa, 41st mayor of Los Angeles; Mary Kohav, vice president of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion and community engagement programs at The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles; Rosie Arroyo, board chair of Hispanas Organized for Political Equality and senior program officer for immigration at the California Community Foundation; Susan Schmidt, Mexican-Jewish chef.
The panel will moderated by Dan Schnur, Holocaust Museum LA board member and USC and UC Berkeley professor of communications, and the event will be presented in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and Hispanas Organized for Political Equality.
“Building Bridges” is a cross-cultural discussion series that brings together leaders from diverse communities for conversations about working toward common social justice goals.
