Annie Adams Calls for Davion Williams’ Resignation

Urbana, IL—I want to swifty respond to the display of a swastika on social media, and defense of it’s use, by a member of Champaign City Council, Davion Williams. 

There is no acceptable enabling, defending or explaining away the use of that symbol of hate. 

I call on the council member to resign immediately. Williams’ history of antisemitic words and actions cannot be ignored. We are one community - hate in Champaign can quickly become hate in Urbana. 

To our community of Jewish faith and all members of our community who stand with them, I stand with you, too.

—ANNIE ADAMS
