Countering Hate: Education & Reporting Resources | Jewish Federation of Orange County

REGISTRATION CLOSED

About

Countering Hate is a half-day learning experience for leaders across all sectors of our Orange County community including K-12 schooling, government leaders, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions, and law enforcement.

The summit will bring together nationally renowned leaders and local practitioners to explore antisemitism through the fields of criminology and sociology to:

Educate the community on what “counts” as antisemitism
Explore the relationship between antisemitism and other forms of hate, and how they threaten democracy
Move towards evidence-based action, providing tools and develop strategies to combat anti-Jewish and other forms of hate in our community
Connect our community, taking the initial steps towards incubating partnerships and attracting allies who can help shrink the footprint of hate
