On Sunday, May 26th, 2024, a vendor (Ayako & Family) at the Ballard Farmers Market displayed a sign with the slogan "From the River to the Sea," which is well-known to be an antisemitic slogan. There are many legitimate ways to express support for Palestinians or opposition to the war in Gaza, but overt antisemitism isn't one of them. In a free society, people have a right to express ugly viewpoints, but doing so is not free of societal consequences, and should not be tolerated under the auspices of a nonprofit organization with a stated commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. I'm asking the leadership of the Seattle Farmers Market Association to review this situation and take appropriate action to ensure antisemitism is not tolerated at your events. An incident report has been filed with the Anti-Defamation League.
