STOPPING ANTISEMITISM STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING IT.
We encounter antisemitism every day—in tweets, in headlines, from public figures. Yet, we rarely see it for what it is. Hate that, while aimed at some of us, hurts all of us. But how do you ask non-Jewish Americans to fight antisemitic behavior when most of them have trouble even recognizing it when it happens?
When we partnered with the American Jewish Committee to create a campaign focused on exposing antisemitism, we knew we had to start with an education. We had to teach our audience how to spot antisemitism, especially when it’s hiding in coded language. A joke. A cartoon. A dog-whistle from our then-president.
The Translate Hate campaign aims to help every American call out antisemitism and know those actions, ideas, and words for what they truly are—hatred, bigotry, and discrimination. So, next time you see antisemitism, don’t ignore it, label it.
And together, we’ll translate hate to acceptance. To hope. To alliance.
