The billboards went up December 3 and will remain through February 23.

The billboards and their messages can be found at the following locations:

"Can a billboard end antisemitism? No. But you're not a billboard."

I-680 & Meridian Rd.

"Let's be clear: Hezbollah and Hamas are your problem too."

Route 224 & Lockwood Blvd.

5990 Youngstown-Warren Rd. 

"Standing against antisemitism is standing with America."

I-689 & Bellvista Ave.

I-76 & OH State Line

A statement within the release said," With antisemitic incidents in the U.S. skyrocketing, now is the time to raise our voices louder than ever. These billboards are a reminder that hatred has no place in our world, and that it is our collective responsibility to stand up for justice and dignity," from Bonnie Deutsch Burdman, Federation Executive Director of Community Relations/Government Affairs.
