Amid a massive surge in antisemitic and anti-Zionist incidents at colleges and K-12 schools, American Jewish Committee (AJC) has established a new Center for Education Advocacy.
The Center’s bold, multi-tiered approach to education advocacy will build on AJC’s strong record of advocacy in education spaces to allow us to effect even more positive and lasting change.
The Center’s founding comes on the heels of pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, and antisemitic protests on dozens of college campuses, which left many Jewish students feeling vulnerable and isolated, with some fearing for their safety and concealing their Jewish identity on campus.
Jews of all ages, in all educational spaces, must be able to learn and grow without the threats of harassment, intimidation, and violence.
The Center for Education Advocacy will integrate and expand AJC’s existing work in the student, academic, and parent empowerment spaces, including Alexander Young Leadership; Academic Affairs; and Education and Training.
