Advocacy – Holding Institutions Accountable

The law is a powerful motivator. When institutions recognize their legal obligations, they are more likely to protect their members from harassment and discrimination. The Brandeis Center causes public and private institutions to act, improving the climate for Jewish Americans. We provide strategic and legal guidance to Americans experiencing anti-Semitic discrimination, helping students, employees and others obtain effective responses from institutions. We engage in correspondence with organizational leaders and lead trainings to educate them on their legal obligation to protect Jews from anti-Semitic harassment and discrimination. When institutions fail to comply with their legal obligations, we hold them accountable.
