TAKE ACTION
 |
A flyer posted in your dorm seems antisemitic. A campus event features an anti-Israel speaker. A fellow student says something about Jews that makes you feel uncomfortable. You may be concerned that you’ll encounter challenging situations like these on your campus. If you do, the most important thing to remember is that you’re not alone. Fellow students and campus professionals will stand with you—and ADL is on your side as well. | |
