Hispanics United Against Hate

Click to enlarge image.

A moderated forum in Spanish to discuss recent incidents of anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism and hate, and what we as a united Hispanic community can do about it to prevent attacks on our Latino, Jewish and other communities as well. When a group is attacked, it weakens the fabric of our society and threatens the very principles on which this great nation was founded.

On May 12, Palm Beach County Mayor Gregg K. Weiss hosted a town hall for the Hispanic community to discuss recent incidents of antisemitism, racism, bigotry and hatred, at Don Ramon Cuban Restaurant in West Palm Beach. The town hall was a follow-up to Mayor Weiss’ “No Hate in PBC” town hall that took place at the South County Civic Center in early March 2023.

Glades Media Group Program Director Helman Ruiz moderated the discussion panel, which included Palm Beach State College Sociology Professor and Palm Beach Center for Democracy & Policy Research Founder Luis Fleischman, Beth El Temple West Palm Beach Rabbi and Cantor Gastón Bogomolni, Lawyer and Florida Hispanic Bar Association President Victoria Mesa-Estrada and Director of the Diocese of Palm Beach’s Hispanic Ministry Father Duvan Bermudez.
