Zoom Bombing Incident During Holocaust Remembrance Day

Dear Event Organizers,

Ms. Tunji Fussell in my office previously reached out to express our disdain for the horrific and reprehensible Zoom bombing incident that took place in an event you hosted on Holocaust Remembrance Day. The disruption is particularly disturbing given the historical and present contributions that members of the Jewish community have made to Brooklyn College.

The increased use of technology for programs of late has, unfortunately, resulted in a significant increase in the number of Zoom bombings related to religion, race, gender, sexual identity, and other diverse experiences that we value here at Brooklyn College.

While we may not be able to prevent these egregious acts, we will certainly do our very best to prevent those who assault the values of Brooklyn College from having a platform.

Racism/antisemitism shown in the Zoom-bombing is condemned by the school. Brooklyn College condemns all forms of racial, religious or any type of discrimination based on protected activity or class.

In solidarity,

Anthony Brown, Esq.
