Antisemitic stickers were posted downtown on Tucson’s Fourth Avenue recently, and more appeared on the University of Arizona campus. “The stickers appear to be the same type that surfaced here in Tucson approximately one year ago,” says Paul Patterson, Jewish community security director.
There also is the possibility that the sticker downtown was “tied to another incident that took place on Fourth Avenue when a local business was vandalized after publicly displaying support for George Floyd and Black Lives Matter,” Patterson notes.
He and Chelsea Gutierrez, also a security director working with the Southern Arizona Jewish community, have been following up with local police and the UA police force, which have been quick to investigate and remove stickers.
Patterson advises “the ‘see something, say something’ approach. If you see those stickers or other stickers associated with spreading hatred then report the incident to the police department.
