Things that belong on campus: Late-night study sessions, new friends and experiences, college football and basketball games, and conversations that broaden our horizons and help us grow.

Things that don’t belong on campus: Antisemitism, discrimination, misinformation, and hate. You’ve got questions about antisemitism on campus. Hillel has answers.

Every Jewish student deserves to feel safe, confident, and supported on campus, and Hillel is there to make sure that’s true. That’s why Hillel created Campus4All.org — a one-stop-shop for identifying and reporting antisemitism, knowing and understanding Jewish students’ rights on campus, and finding trustworthy, verified voices to help separate fact from fiction about Israel.

Hillel International partners with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Secure Community Network to manage Report Campus Hate, an online portal for Jewish students and allies to report antisemitic incidents on college campuses and receive immediate support. All incidents reported through Report Campus Hate are reviewed by a trained security professional, who supports students in the incident response process and connects them with the campus Hillel to address the issue with university administrators and law enforcement, as appropriate. Students who leave their contact information are also connected to tools and resources to improve campus climate, as well as with wellness services.

Hillel International works day in and day out to empower Jewish college students and their allies to call out and resist antisemitism. Beginning in 2021, Hillel also launched the #OwnYourStar campaign to counter hate with Jewish pride, encouraging students to stand up against antisemitism on their college campuses, online, and beyond. #OwnYourStar encourages students to post on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok about what the Star of David or other Jewish symbols mean to them, using the hashtag #OwnYourStar. This campaign has reached more than 5 million students and supporters.

Hillel’s Campus Climate Initiative (CCI) works collaboratively with higher education administrators and university presidents to ensure a positive campus climate in which Jewish students feel comfortable expressing their identity and values, free of antisemitism, harassment, or marginalization. Administrative leaders play an essential role in affecting broad-based educational and policy change on campus, and university-Hillel partnerships catalyze positive changes that benefit Jewish students and all students. The CCI model involves partnership between the college or university administration, the campus Hillel, and the CCI team.

The JCUA Organizing Fellowship is a seven-month social justice initiative that offers young adults, ages 18-23, the opportunity to learn community organizing through a Jewish lens and gain experience working on local campaigns for racial and economic justice. Fellows join a cohort of young Jews from across the city and suburbs, where they develop and strengthen their Jewish social justice identities, while building organizing skills to combat the root causes of inequity in Chicago through progressive, systemic change.

Organizing Fellows meet twice a month from October to May on weekday evenings. Alongside regular workshops, Fellows attend JCUA actions and events throughout the year and conduct one-on-one relationship-building conversations with each another and the broader JCUA community. Throughout the program, participants develop a dynamic understanding of Jewish identity and tradition and take action on JCUA’s campaigns for immigration justice, affordable housing, and community safety. Fellows dive deep into concepts of power, intersectionality, and systemic oppression; learn the history and building blocks of organizing in Chicago: building people power, developing campaigns, creating effective direct action; actively participate in JCUA’s current campaign work; and build Jewish social justice community with young people from across Chicagoland.
