From: [Your Name]

Thank you sincerely for your admirable choice to use your platform for good. Thank you for leveraging the reach and power of professional sports with your recently launched Timeout Against Hate Campaign.

We are especially grateful for your commitment to ensuring that antisemitism, potentially the longest-living and ever-mutating form of hate, be recognized along with all other forms of hate.

Every day, in K-12, Universities and on the streets, Jewish individuals are being tormented, harassed, spat on, bashed over the head, forced out of buildings, trapped into spaces, intimidated, disrespected, canceled, disinvited and greeted with Heil Hitler. As there has been limited to no repercussion or accountability for the perpetrators, we are grateful for your voice. In a world where humanity, truth and decency have taken a back-seat to hate, your campaign could not be more timely or important.

We applaud your commitment to making our society a more tolerable and caring place.

With sincere gratitude,
