IAUJC Working Against Antisemitism
IAUJC has created an antisemitism task force to address the growing number of antisemitic incidents that have occurred in Ithaca since October 7, 2023.
The task force is combatting antisemitism through education, coalition building and monitoring incidents of hatred against Jewish people and Israel in our community.
In the spring of 2026, the task force successfully lobbied the Ithaca Common Council to remove antisemitic graffiti on city property. The task force also met with the managers of an eatery that had refused to serve a Jewish customer who had participated in a march to free the hostages in Gaza.
The work of the task force was featured in a front-page article in The Ithaca Journal.
If you want to report an antisemitic experience with a support member of the community, please contact IAUJC to learn about your rights and how you can report an incident to the police or the New York State Division of Human Rights.
