Frugoli stated that her office is planning on hosting a forum with community members that focuses on how to prevent “hate crimes and hateful behavior.” The event will include representatives from the Anti-Defamation League and Not in Our Town, a national nonprofit that works to address hate and racism. Details about the forum and date are forthcoming, said Frugoli. The November incident was caught on video by 21-year-old Noah Mohan, who identifies as half-Jewish. The nearly 10-minute encounter was first posted to Mohan’s Instagram account and went viral. In the video, Mohan confronts the young man posting the stickers and tells him to leave Fairfax. “Racism is racism,” Mohan said in an interview with J. in December. “It doesn’t matter who it is towards. We need to call it out. I’m not gonna let anything like that slide.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by NOAH MOHAN AKA NOAHTHAMACK (@noahthamack) Gabriel Greschler Gabriel Greschler was a staff writer at J. from 2019 to 2021.
