Another week, another powerful surge of grassroots momentum. From community screenings and city proclamations to national policy shifts and public accountability, the impact of the #EndJewHatred movement continues to grow. As we celebrate Passover—a time that honors our journey from slavery to freedom—we are reminded that the fight for dignity and justice is far from over. This week, our collective action speaks louder than ever: Jew-hatred has no place in our communities. Let's keep going strong. When we rise together, we win.

Activism in Action!

On April 8, at the Great Neck Library in New York, #EndJewHatred hosted a screening of October 8, followed by a Q&A with Michelle Ahdoot, Director of Programming and Strategy for the movement. The event drew a local audience committed to understanding the realities of antisemitism in the wake of October 7 and the importance of standing up for Jewish civil rights. The conversation focused on education, resilience, and how community members can become powerful advocates for change.

Also on April 8, the City of Aventura, Florida officially proclaimed April 29 as #EndJewHatred Day. We are deeply grateful to Mayor Howard Weinberg, Vice Mayor Rachel Saltzman Friedland, Commissioner Amit Bloom, and the entire Aventura City Commission for their bold leadership in the fight against antisemitism. The proclamation is part of our national effort to uplift Jewish voices and celebrate Jewish resilience and contributions to American society. This powerful recognition sends a clear message: hate has no home in Aventura.

On April 9, Tragic Awakening: A New Look at the Oldest Hatred was screened at Yale University, in collaboration with Yale Friends of Israel and #EndJewHatred. The event featured a post-screening Q&A with the film's narrator, Rawan Osman, a Syrian-Lebanese Arab Zionist and founder of ArabsAsk. Osman spoke passionately about her advocacy for peace with Israel, her personal journey, and how antisemitism must be addressed from a global perspective. The screening, held at Chabad at Yale, brought together students and community members in a meaningful dialogue about identity, allyship, and the enduring importance of truth.

Weekly Wins!

Your continued dedication is driving real change. This week's wins are powerful reminders that when we speak up and take coordinated action, our voices are heard. Together, we're holding institutions accountable, influencing national policy, and standing strong against Jew-hatred. Here's what we accomplished this week — and it's only the beginning.

The Department of Homeland Security has revoked the visas and legal immigration status of dozens of international students and recent graduates, including those attending UMass Amherst, UMass Boston, Harvard, Stanford, Ohio State, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Davis, and UCLA. Over the past 18 months, we have been contacting these schools and including government officials in our outreach.	U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that it will begin screening immigrants' social media for evidence of antisemitic activity as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. The policy applies to individuals applying for permanent residence and foreigners affiliated with educational institutions, and it will go into effect immediately. This is a big step forward.
A campaign targeting a Palestinian American scholar's upcoming lecture at Sonoma State University has drawn thousands of emails in recent weeks. This article specifically references our letters, and the attention this has received is a direct result of your engagement. This is why it's so important that we keep showing up and making our voices heard!	Staples has released an official statement following a recent incident in one of their Los Angeles stores. According to spokesperson Chris Tjaden, Staples is "currently investigating the circumstances involving this interaction." The Lawfare Project is representing Elisheva, who has bravely begun to speak publicly about her experience!
