American Jewish Committee (AJC) applauds the brands and companies that have served ties with Kayne West for his string of antisemitic statements.
But the fight against Jew-hatred doesn’t end with the rapper’s antisemitic tropes and conspiracies. There is more work to be done to combat the world’s oldest hatred. Here are six ways you can take action now.
1. Share
There’s no better time to share AJC’s Call to Action Against Antisemitism: A Society-Wide Nonpartisan Guide for America. This go-to resource – for both public and private sectors of society, including government, law enforcement, corporations, the media, and educational institutions – helps everyone understand, respond, and prevent antisemitism.
2. Advocate
Elected officials are often on the front line of combating antisemitism, protecting Jewish communities, and speaking out in support of American values. Congress can leverage resources to enhance Jewish security, establish structures to prevent and address hate, and confront the politicization of antisemitism. With just one-click you can send an email to your members of Congress urging them to take action against antisemitism.

5. Listen
The spotlight remains on UC Berkeley Law School after the decision by a handful of student groups to adopt bylaws that would ban Zionist speakers on campus.
