Prospect statement on Manchester synagogue attack

Prospect is appalled by the attack on the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester, and stands in solidarity with the victims, their families, and the wider Jewish community in the UK.

The rise of anti-Semitism is a stain on our society and is something we as a trade union are determined to play our part in resisting.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, as well as with our own Jewish members and the wider community who for too long have had to live in fear of such attacks.

Jewish people are not alone in this fight against hatred. We will continue to do all we can to challenge hate and racism within our society.
