May is Jewish American History Month, and organizations nationwide are joining together to celebrate Jewish heritage while continuing to combat the rising threat of antisemitism.
Executive director of the non-profit Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, Mathew Berge, is here to tell us more about their mission, and how they’re using a simple blue square emoji to unite people against hatred.
“Join us in a nationwide campaign centered around standing up to Jewish hate by using the blue square emoji as a unifying symbol of support and solidarity. Post this graphic with the hashtag #StandUpToJewishHate and include a blue square in your post. This blue square is 2.4% of this image, the same size as the Jewish population in the U.S. Yet, Jews are the victims of 55% of religious-based hate crimes. We need 100% of your support to stand up against antisemitism. Hate against one group breeds hate against others.” - @StandWithUs
