CAM Coalition Partners Spotlight: Showing Up and Speaking Out

From producing educational videos, appearing on the news, hosting events, to publishing articles, the CAM coalition partners have taken to multiple platforms in their work to support the Jewish people and stop Jew-hatred. With the summer coming to a close, partner organizations are wrapping up their projects and launching new projects for the fall. 

Here is a sampling of how CAM partners made a difference this week:
