Hadassah is proud to partner with the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism to support the new #StandUptoJewishHate campaign, building on Hadassah's long history of speaking out about hate. This far-reaching new campaign aims to educate all Americans about the rise of antisemitism and mobilize people beyond the Jewish community to help address growing hate and intolerance.
The campaign will use a blue square 🟦 as its symbol. The blue square, which represents the Jewish population in the US, will take up 2.4% of the screen when it appears, calling attention to the disparity between the Jewish population size and the scale of hate the community faces, both online and in person. In 2022, more than 1 in 4 Jewish Americans (26%) were the targets of antisemitic incidents, including physical attacks, remarks in person or remarks online.
As the largest Jewish women’s organization, antisemitism affects Hadassah members in so many different ways as we face this surge in antisemitism in places of worship, on college campuses, in online groups and forums, and in personal interactions.
