Confronting extremism requires allies, shared values, and coordinated action.

On #EndJewHatred Day, we are convening interfaith leaders, educators, media voices, policymakers, and advocates in Midtown Manhattan for a half-day gathering focused on one urgent question: how do we meet the rise of extremism in our institutions, schools, and civic life — together?

Extremist ideologies are no longer operating at the margins. They are shaping narratives in classrooms, influencing public discourse, and threatening democratic norms. Unite Against Extremism brings together courageous voices from across communities to confront these challenges directly, expose what is fueling them, and chart meaningful, collective responses rooted in pluralism and democratic values.

This is not a passive gathering. It is a strategic conversation about standing firm, building alliances, and transforming concern into action.
