(NewsNation) — Actress Patricia Heaton and marketing executive Archie Gottesman are teaming up to urge Christians to support Jewish people and Israel one billboard at a time.

Their campaign works with the organization JewB e long to put up bright pink signs around America’s major cities.

“Most of the response has been really good. Of course, there are people who hate us. … This is not a walk in the park. Fighting against antisemitism is serious business. It’s the most important thing,” Gottesman said on “CUOMO” Wednesday.

Since the Oct. 7 attacks, Heaton has been one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel. A devout Catholic, Heaton formed “The October 7 Coalition” and has called for action from fellow Christians.

Heaton said her goal is to be “visibly and vocally supportive of the Jewish people,” a mission made easier by her partnership with Gottesman.
