Encountered anti-Semitism on campus? Describe your incident here. Our team, in partnership with ADL and Brandeis, will offer support and guidance. Whether you’re directly involved or a witness, your voice matters
Please report only first hand experience and try to include evidence (photos, videos, etc).
While you wait for our response, please consider these first steps:
- Connect together with Jews, Israelis and non-Jews who share your experience and concerns. We have greater power, and less fear, in groups.
- Connect with local organizations if available – Chabad, Hillel, Students Stand for Israel (SSI), Mishelanu, etc.
- Report the incident to the school administration. If the incident was violent, or incitement to violence, report to the local police, as well as the local district attorney
- If it was a violent hate crime, report to the FBI immediately, at 800-CALL-FBI.
In many cases, law enforcement can step in and handle the issue rapidly and correctly.
When law enforcement, or school administration, fails to handle the issue, there are escalation paths and legal avenues.
