据 PR Newswire 10月18日报道，由「蓝色广场反仇恨联盟」（Blue Square Alliance Against Hate）与「良心呼吁基金会」（Appeal of Conscience Foundation）发起的「挺身星期天」（Stand Up Sunday）跨信仰行动于10月18日（周日）在全美举行，超过200万美国人参与。从新英格兰到德克萨斯、纽约到俄克拉荷马，各州大小社区的敬拜场所与信仰领袖共同发声，呼吁终结反犹主义和一切基于信仰的仇恨。
主办方表示，去年首届活动动员了30多个州的100多间敬拜场所、覆盖150万信众；今年规模扩大到200多万人，主题为「在信仰中团结，在反仇恨中团结」。参与机构包括纽约、新泽西、华盛顿（Washington）和波士顿（Boston）的天主教总教区及布鲁克林教区、美国希腊正教会、美国亚美尼亚教区、BAPS 印度教组织，以及众多非洲卫理公会、长老会、福音派和无宗派基督教会。纽约圣帕特里克大教堂当天也举行了纪念仪式。
主办方在声明中表示，反犹仇恨言论、暴力以及更广泛的基于信仰的仇恨持续上升，对抗仇恨需要团结一致的回应。蓝色广场联盟主席 Adam Katz 说：「来自所有信仰的领袖们共同发出明确信息——偏见与不宽容在我们的社会中没有立足之地。」（GSM 据 PR Newswire 报道）
'Stand Up Sunday' Interfaith Action Mobilizes Over 2 Million Americans Against Antisemitism and Faith-Based Hate
More than two million Americans took part in "Stand Up Sunday," a nationwide interfaith day of action held on Sunday, October 18, organized by the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate and the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, PR Newswire reported. Houses of worship and faith leaders from New England to Texas, New York to Oklahoma, joined in calling for an end to antisemitism and all faith-based hate.
Last year, the initiative activated over 100 houses of worship, reaching 1.5 million congregants across more than 30 states. This year's program, themed "United in Faith, United Against Hate," expanded to include more than 2 million Americans. Participating organizations include the Catholic Archdioceses of New York, New Jersey, Washington and Boston and the Diocese of Brooklyn; the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America; the Armenian Diocese of America; BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha; and numerous African Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Evangelical and non-denominational Christian congregations. St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York also hosted a ceremony that day.
"Leaders from all faiths are sending a clear message that bigotry and intolerance have no place in our society," said Adam Katz, president of the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, in a statement. (GSM, based on PR Newswire reporting)
