On Saturday, a gunman killed 11 people during Shabbat services at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Now, local Jewish leaders say President Trump is not welcome unless he denounces white nationalism.

More than 26,000 people have signed a petition agreeing with them.

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition saying President Trump is not welcome in Pittsburgh unless he actually does something to stop attacks. The letter came after a mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue during Shabbat services on Saturday that left 11 people dead, the Washington Post reports.

The president has said he will visit Pittsburgh, and denounced the attack as “evil” and said anti-Semitism was a “poison,” but did not cancel a rally held in Illinois the same evening as the shooting.

In a letter published by the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc, a Jewish progressive organization, 11 local Jewish leaders said President Trump isn’t welcome unless he actually does something about anti-Semitism and white nationalism. The letter specifically calls out the president on “targeting and endangering all minorities” and putting forth an “assault on immigrants and refugees.”

“For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,” the letter reads. “You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence.”

Bend the Arc then called for supporters to add their name to a petition demanding Trump fully denounce white nationalism. So far, more than 26,000 people have signed the list of demands.

“My immediate reaction was he is not welcome here,” Joshua Friedman, one of the leaders who signed the letter, told the Washington Post. “I immediately wrote to the rest of our steering committee that he is not welcome, we have to make that clear.” Friedman read the letter aloud in front of the White House on Sunday—and the crowd read along with him.
