Hate crimes against Jews and others are rising at alarming rates. Meanwhile, antisemitic comments are widespread on social media. These trends are sadly prevalent in South Florida and communities across the globe. 

2 in 3 religious hate crimes are against Jewish people who make up just 2% of the U.S. population.1

Nearly 500 antisemitic acts of harassment and assaults have taken place at Jewish institutions in Florida since 2018.2

61% of Floridians aged 18-39 did not know that 6 million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust.3
