Over the weekend, our A Shenere, Besere Velt (A more beautiful, better world) mural was the target of anti-Israel hate. Even though  the Arbeter Ring stands for equal rights for Palestinians, especially for those undergoing the hardships in Gaza, we have been specifically hit.

The Israeli and American flags originally on our mural have been painted over with the Palestinian flag and an upside-down, protest version of the American flag.

During this strange, fascistic political climate in Los Angeles where storm troopers march through our public lands (MacArthur Park comes to mind), we hold steadfast to the words painted on our mural: “Justice, justice ye shall pursue.”

In the name of pursuing justice, we have started a fund-raising campaign to restore our mural to its original state. We can’t do it alone. We need the public’s help.
