OUR APPROACH
We review and analyze university policies, student government bylaws, district policies, and federal, state, and local laws when they are threatened or infringed because of antisemitism and antizionism.Â
We educate students and community members about their rights, including how to identify and respond to antisemitism. We provide them with the legal tools and resources to fight back against antisemitism and in support of Israel through free legal help.Â
Filing legal complaints alleging violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, filing discrimination and harassment complaints through the university system, and filing grievances with school districts demanding accountability and repercussions for antisemitism. Â
We offer numerous workshops to educate students, community members and lawyers about available legal tools and strategies to counter antisemitism and anti-Israel extremism. Â
