Suggested phone script:

“Hi, I’m calling because I’m honestly very upset that the Parkway Theatre is providing its venue for the Mahmoud Khalil event.

There have been serious concerns about antisemitism surrounding the Columbia protest movement in which Khalil was a prominent figure. As a member of the Baltimore community, it is painful and disturbing to see these concerns seemingly brushed aside.

I’m asking you respectfully to reconsider hosting this event. Antisemitism should matter just as much as every other form of hatred. Thank you for hearing me out.”

Suggested email:

Dear Parkway Theatre,

I’m writing because I am genuinely upset and disappointed that the Parkway Theatre is providing its venue for the upcoming Mahmoud Khalil event.

There have been serious concerns about antisemitism surrounding the Columbia protest movement in which Khalil was a prominent figure. Seeing an event featuring him welcomed into a Baltimore venue feels deeply troubling to many members of our community.

I am respectfully asking you to reconsider hosting this event.

We constantly hear that hatred and discrimination have no place in our community. That principle must include antisemitism. Jewish Baltimore deserves to know that our concerns matter too.

Please listen to our community and reconsider this decision.

Respectfully,
[Your Name]
