Patricia Heaton

 Patricia Heaton, the well-known actress from Everybody Loves Raymond, has launched a nonprofit organization called the October 7 Coalition (O7 C). This initiative was born in response to rising antisemitism and seeks to rally Christians to be vocal supporters of Jewish people and Israel. Heaton, though not Jewish herself, has emphasized the importance of unity between Christians and Jews in combating hatred and fostering understanding.

The O7C aims to create connections between Christian and Jewish communities through events such as unity dinners, where people come together over shared values and conversations. Heaton has been active in organizing and participating in these gatherings across the country. Additionally, she has used social media and public campaigns, including a billboard initiative, to raise awareness and encourage action against antisemitism.

The organization's focus is on bridging divides and urging Christians to openly support their Jewish neighbors, especially in the face of increasing hostility toward the Jewish community worldwide.
