<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">The FBI has released data showing that anti-Jewish hate crimes in the United States reached record levels in 2024. According to the report, 1,938 single-bias hate crimes were committed
against Jews last year, a 5.8% increase from 2023, marking the highest number ever recorded since the FBI began collecting data—a 5% rise from 2023 and the highest number since the organization began tracking. This briefing was developed after October 2023
to help participants navigate the current moment as upstanders and allies for the Jewish community. It provides context on Jewish identity, what antisemitism is, and how anti-Jewish ideas are showing up in discourse around Israel and Palestine. Our proven
strategy for identifying Jewish harm nurtures empathy for all people, creates space for nuance, and respects the politics and values of everyone in the room. Participants leave with a toolkit to understand and identify anti-Jewish harm. Half the session is
dedicated to a brave space conversation and Q&A. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Participants will learn to identify how Islamophobia and related forms of bias appear in everyday campus life—whether in language, media portrayals, or interpersonal interactions. Through case examples, staff will gain practical tools to respond effectively
to bias, foster a climate of belonging, and ensure that campus services and resources are accessible and welcoming to all. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

to the previous year.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black">Half of these incidents occurred between October and December 2023.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black">The
surge in anti-Muslim hate that erupted in October 2023 continued.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black">From January to June 2024, the same civil rights organizations documented nearly 5,000 incoming
complaints, a sixty-nine percent increase over the same period in 2023. The experience of students and employees during this cycle of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate remain the standout trends compared to past cycles. Islamophobia, a centuries old framework,
shapes how Islam and Muslims are perceived in the US and globally. This seminar explores the roots and dominant tropes of Islamophobia, examining its impact on Muslim and Arab American communities. It concludes by proposing strategies to combat Islamophobia at
both interpersonal and institutional levels.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
