The grassroots #EndJewHatred civil-rights movement announced that it will commemorate internationally recognized #EndJewHatred Day on Tuesday, April 29, at the Nova Exhibition in Toronto.

Scheduled speakers include Brooke Goldstein, the founder of #EndJewHatred; Oct. 7 survivor Ofir Amir, also Tribe of Nova co-founder and Nova festival co-producer; Stella Escobedo, an Emmy-award winning journalist. Also, Canadian Minister of Parliament Melissa Lantsman will be honored at the event.

#EndJewHatred Day is a commitment to social justice for the Jewish people, one of the oldest and most historically persecuted minority groups. It fosters empathy, tolerance, cultural awareness and unity against Jew-hatred. Proclamations honoring #EndJewHatred Day have been issued in various locales across the United States, including New York, Nevada, California and Florida. In Canada, a proclamation continues to circulate across the country.

“A dedicated calendar day, such as April 29, is essential to raising awareness, mobilizing action and cementing the fight for Jewish civil rights as a priority in society,” said Goldstein.

“On #EndJewHatred Day, we stand with powerful voices who are fearlessly fighting for Jewish civil rights. Our speakers are not just advocates—they are warriors for truth, tirelessly working to expose injustice, educate the world and safeguard democracy for all. Their courage and commitment inspire action, ensuring that the fight against Jew-hated is not just a moment, but a movement,” she said.

“As the Canadian director for #EndJewHatred, it has been devastating to witness the country turned upside down by the rise of Jew-hatred,” said Alexandra Smith. “Establishing a dedicated day to call for the end of Jew-hatred is a crucial step in ensuring this fight remains a priority. We are not just raising awareness—we are driving real change alongside incredible allies who refuse to be silent in the face of injustice.”

The Nova Exhibition creates a sacred space echoing the weight of the victims’ and survivors’ memories, surrounded by remains salvaged from the festival grounds—scorched cars, bullet-riddled bathroom stalls and personal belongings all left behind.

Visitors will be invited to join a plea for the safe return of the hostages who are still held in captivity by Hamas terrorists.
