The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism
Antisemitism is on the rise.
It is not just a threat to the Jewish community - accepted hate, in any form, is a vital threat to our society.

FCAS’ New Year’s Day Ad
The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and the Robert K. Kraft Family ran its second TV ad during NFL games on January 1, encouraging people to make a New Year’s resolution to speak out against hate towards all groups, and particularly to #StandUpToJewishHate.
We must do more to make people aware that antisemitism is a growing threat against Jews on social media and in communities across the country. I have committed tremendous resources toward this effort and am vowing to do more. I encourage others to join in these efforts. My hope is this commercial will continue to enhance the national conversation about the need to speak out against hatred of all types, and particularly to stand up to Jewish hate.
#StandUpToJewishHate
With the recent rise in conversations about antisemitism on social media, FCAS launched #StandUpToJewishHate, encouraging Jews and non-Jews alike to speak out against hatred and stand with the Jewish community. The messages are focused on the ongoing need to address antisemitism on social media and in our communities every day.
The colorful posts are featured on FCAS’ [StandUpToJewishHate] channels on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
