Reporting an Antisemetic event, or incident. If you feel that you have been a victim of antisemitism or have witnessed an incident or event, you can feel safe that this can be reported through the Anti- Defamation League (ADL) This is their statement:“Thanks to thousands of people like you who have reported incidents, we are able to help communities across the country by reporting on trends, educating lawmakers and law enforcement and advocating for stronger protections from incidents and crimes.

ADL works to prevent people from being targeted because of their religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or level of ability. But we cannot do it alone. We need your help as, together, we work toward making our communities, country and world a safer place for all.”

Combating Jewish Hate

We are alarmed; and we are taking action. Together with our communal partners and the, Fighting Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism Task Force, we've proposed a 5-point plan to combat Jewish hate.

We aim to:

1. Face Jewish Hate The first part of our strategy is a public-facing awareness, education, and mobilization campaign to fight back against antisemitism.
2. Empower our community. The campaign will direct people to a communal resource hub: a website with curated resources, educational tools, and opportunities to act so that community members are motivated and equipped to stand up and fight back.
3. Build allyship. A key component of our strategy is building stronger relationships with non-Jewish influential people, such that they stand up and publicly speak out about antisemitism, and work to ensure policies are free of discrimination toward Jews and Israel.
4. Inform and educate the next generation. We’re giving young people the tools they need when faced with Jewish hate and working to ensure fair and equal treatment of Jews and Israel through the educational system.
5. Strengthen communal security. Finally, a cornerstone of our plan is the growth of our Communal Security Initiative (CSI), where we are doubling our capacity to serve the safety needs of our community

ANTISEMITISM IS NOT HISTORICAL.
IT IS NOT THEORETICAL.
IT IS NOT DISTANT.
IT IS HERE. IT IS NOW.
