Pillars of the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism
This government and whole-of-society approach is built upon the foundation of four pillars.
Pillar Three:
Reverse the normalization of antisemitism and counter antisemitic discrimination
Pillar One
Increase awareness and understanding of antisemitism, including its threat to America, and broaden appreciation of Jewish American heritage
The actions under this pillar aim to increase awareness of Jewish American heritage so there is greater understanding of antisemitism, the threat it poses and the conspiracy theories it promotes. The key to this knowledge is education about antisemitism and the Holocaust and research on the intersections of hate for best practices on how to prevent its spread.
Pillar One: ADL Resources & Research
Pillar Two
Improve safety and security for Jewish communities
The goals under this pillar focus on improving the safety and security for Jewish communities while reducing the threat Jewish people have recently faced at Jewish Institutions. This includes bolstering data collection on antisemitism to better understand antisemitism and how to combat it.
Pillar Two: ADL Resources & Research
Pillar Three
Reverse the normalization of antisemitism and counter antisemitic discrimination
Antisemitic rhetoric has crept from the fringes to the mainstream and actions within this pillar look to counter this speech and how it catches on. Speaking out against this hate, disrupting antisemitism online especially on social media platforms and expanding education are critical.
Pillar Three: ADL Resources & Research
Pillar Four
Build cross-community solidarity and collective action to counter hate
Solidarity across marginalized communities strengthens the fight against antisemitism and other forms of hate. Recognizing that hate does not exist in isolation is key to this pillar. Through allyship, coalitions and partnerships we can speak out louder together since a threat to one marginalized community often means hatred toward another.
Pillar Four: ADL Resources & Research
