State Attorney Melissa Nelson's office said 'such speech — even despicable speech — is protected by the First Amendment.'
Elsewhere, the same message was projected onto a downtown building and other antisemitic messages were shared on banners displayed on overpasses on Interstate 10 and the Arlington Expressway over the weekend.
Scheduled for 5:30 p.m., the vigil will be held at James Weldon Johnson Park across from Jacksonville City Hall. "We are OUTRAGED by the demonstrations and expressions of antisemitic ideology recently espoused by local individuals and hate groups in Jacksonville," OneJax said in its statement. "At the same time, we are bereft by the cruelty and hate these actions convey.
"The fact is, the majority of people in Jacksonville — whether they vote red or blue —oppose hate-speak and are not satisfied to let the actions of a few define who we are as a community."
