Background: The Surge in Antisemitism
Since October 7, 2023, antisemitism has risen dramatically across the nation—especially in the Bay Area—affecting schools, public spaces, social media, businesses, government institutions, and beyond. In response to this crisis, a powerful movement is emerging: dedicated community engagement. Parents, students, and community members are stepping up to confront antisemitism wherever it appears. These passionate volunteers are leading grassroots efforts to protect and advocate for the Jewish community, working to keep our schools and cities safe, inclusive, and welcoming.
