On today’s program, we spoke with Kyle Reese, executive director of OneJax, and David Miller of the Together Strong Community Fund about IamJax, a new community campaign organized by the two organizations.
Its goal is to highlight how our differences can bring us together — and, they hope, solve some of the issues facing our city. Organizers said they saw the need for it after an increase in public expressions of antisemitism and hate in Jacksonville.
