The statistics that chart the rise in antisemitism online and on social media are nothing short of alarming. Telling that story is the impetus behind a new media campaign from American Jewish Committee (AJC). At its core are four short videos that highlight the pride as well as the peril of being a Jew in America. The campaign also features non-Jewish allies to emphasize that antisemitism is not just a Jewish problem; it is one that all of society needs to solve.
