Jewcy Folk,

Tonight Jewcy and the Armenian-American community's No Place for Denial campaign co-sponsor a rally outside the national ADL headquarters in Manhattan. For the next few days, the national ADL will be meeting somewhere in the City to consider, among other things, whether to continue supporting Turkey's ongoing campaign to deny recognition to the survivors of the Armenian Genocide.

I wish I could be at the rally rather than out here on the West Coast, but Michael Weiss will be there along with other Jewish speakers to represent Jewcy and all those of us in the Jewish community who believe that genocide denial is not a Jewish value, and that the ADL can never represent the Jewish tradition of social justice so long as it seeks to deny recognition to the survivors of genocide and to the descendants of those who perished.

1. An update about the NO PLACE FOR DENIAL campaign
2. Information about why the ADL must support the Armenian Genocide resolution before the US Congress
3. Prominent Jewish American voices who have been strong supporters of Armenian Genocide recognition
4. Poems read by prominent writers, including novelist Arthur Nersesian & curator Neery Melkonian
5. And finally, as promised, we got a music permit and we've invited an ARMENIAN FOLK & KLEZMER TRIO.

Samvel, the trumpet player, composed a soulful tune that became the official anthem of the anti-Soviet marches in the late 80's. It is his trumpet that kicked off demonstrations in Liberty Square in Yerevan!!

Come out and support the free rally that will show the ADL that Genocide Denial is Not a Jewish Value and they they must STOP SUPPORTING TURKEY'S DENIAL OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.
