Debra Messing - actress - Jewish American Heritage Month

This week, I'm saluting Emmy Award-winning actress Debra Messing.  

She launched her own podcast about social justice during the pandemic called “The Dissenters.” She shared why the surge of antisemitism and racial strife in our country made her conversation with a 93-year-old Holocaust survivor particularly poignant. “Why don’t people protest against antisemitism?” she said. “People flood the streets for racism. When you look at Charlottesville the Nazis were screaming about two groups – Black people and Jews. We really are the most natural allies in the world.

Messing has been a vocal supporter of Israel since the October 7 attacks.
