Euronews (French): World leaders must support Jacinda Ardern with concrete action
CEP Senior Advisor Jean-Charles Brisard writes: "While details of the unimaginable horror of the Christchurch shootout had barely reached Europe, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was already taking steps to combat extremism in her country. Her reaction to the atrocity by the refusal to pronounce the name of the terrorist, the rapid modification of the New Zealand firearms legislation and the disapproval of the ideology behind this hatred have been the hallmark of a true leader. She made a strong, direct decision, ending the division. The praise rightly received from other world leaders will sound hollow if the action does not follow the words."

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
