Amy Spitalnick: Anti-White Supremacist Crusader and Soon-to-Become CEO of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action

Amy Spitalnick, 36, spearheaded a four-year-long legal battle against the organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, during which one person was killed and many were injured. Spitalnick was executive director of Integrity First for America at the time. The white-supremacist rally included a torch-light parade of demonstrators shouting, “Jews will not replace us!” In 2021, the rally organizers were found liable for $25 million in damages. Spitalnick is slated to become CEO of the organization Bend the Arc: Jewish Action in November of this year.
 
Quote: “There is a total failure among most people, including many of our leaders, to recognize just how dire the threat of white supremacy is and to understand how interconnected it is with broader dynamics. It’s crucial that we connect the dots to policies like what we’re seeing in Florida, where the ‘anti-woke’ bill [passed in March and officially called the Individual Freedom bill] ties the hands of educators to talk about white supremacy and racism.”
