New Ad Campaign to Combat Antisemitism | |
|
The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, https://www.fcas.org, launched a new $25 million television and social media campaign, 'Stand Up to Jewish Hate,' to raise awareness nationwide about soaring incidents of antisemitism online and in person.
The campaign features a small blue square, which represents that the Jewish population in the United States is 2.4%, but Jews are the victims of 55% of religious hate crimes. Here's one of the ads https://youtu.be/iQoTteVBAXA
The Foundation was founded and supported by Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots. The campaign will appear during the NFL draft, the NBA and NHL playoffs and other network shows, as well as on social media, promoted by prominent influencers #StandUpToJewishHate
