<p>Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday unveiled a strategy to combat all manner of hate crimes that Jewish leaders condemned as an insensitive and inadequate response to the surge in anti-Jewish hate crimes.</p><p>Ald. Debra Silverstein (50th), the City Council’s lone Jewish member, said Johnson’s plan “fails to address the unique nature of anti-Jewish hate.”</p><p>“Instead, he’s turned it into hate in all forms,” Silverstein said.</p><p>Johnson's plan calls for creating a “Jewish Engagement Council to serve as a direct bridge for dialogue” between residents, community leaders and the mayor’s office, and an “Interconnected Chicago Council” to address “fragmentation between communities.”</p><p>"By fostering increased civic connectedness, we are fortifying our response to hate ... while developing a more united front and lasting foundation of safety and belonging for every Chicagoan," Johnson said in news release issued Tuesday.
