Dear John,

Today, you have a choice to make. You can stay silent or you can choose to act. [link removed]

You can act for every Jewish person who has been a victim of antisemitism and all those who live in fear of it.

You can act for every young student who feels threatened as a Jew or supporter of Israel.

You can act in defense of the Jewish state when its very right to exist is under assault.

And you can act to safeguard our values as rising hate and extremism threaten our democratic and pluralistic way of life.

On #GivingTuesday, you can act by supporting AJC, an organization that will never waver in its commitment to the Jewish people. [link removed]

And if you give to AJC now, every dollar will be doubled, up to a total of $350,000! [link removed]

This past year, with support from friends like you, AJC took action—and we made a difference. [link removed]

We woke up the country with a landmark survey on the severity of antisemitism in America. The disturbing results prompted elected officials, including the AJC-inspired congressional Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism, to intensify their focus on this issue. We united with our interfaith and interethnic allies to advance crucial hate crimes legislation and introduce new measures to protect people of all faiths.

We partnered with European governments to develop strategies to counter hatred against Jews, including the adoption of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, so authorities have a universal standard for what constitutes antisemitism.

We cultivated stronger ties for Israel in diplomatic meetings with 115 nations, including multiple Arab and Muslim countries, and brought hundreds of influential leaders to experience the Jewish state for themselves.

We educated high school and college students across America, teaching them advocacy skills and extending support as they confront growing antisemitic and anti-Israel bias on campus. Because of supporters like you, AJC saw results in 2019.

Now it’s up to you to determine whether we can build on those successes.

Our actions today—or the tragedy of inaction—will determine our future. This #GivingTuesday, choose to act by making a gift to AJC—a gift that will be doubled. [link removed]

What happens next is up to us. If we don’t act now, who will? [link removed] [link removed]

With gratitude,

David Harris
AJC Chief Executive Officer
Edward and Sandra Meyer Office of the CEO

Individual gifts up to $10,000 will be matched through 12.31.19. The total challenge grant is $350,000.
