Combating Antisemitism

The FJMC Committee to Combat Antisemitism is charged with raising awareness of antisemitism and offering clubs specific ways they can contribute to combating this hate. It follows up on our Philadelphia Convention theme of Combating Antisemitism. Our committee will periodically ask clubs and regions to actively engage with their community, to draw attention to antisemitism and its impact on club members and community residents. FJMC International is already partnering with organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League to fight antisemitism.

The FJMC’s 2023 Convention theme was combating antisemitism and the role that clubs and their members can play in this fight. We call on our clubs and members to demonstrate their rejection of this startling explosion of antisemitism.
