Our responsibility to confront antisemitism and Islamism has never been more urgent.
Since October 7, 2023, antisemitic content on social media exploded by 5,000%, and campus incidents rose by more than 700%. Across the West, Jewish people are the target of nearly 70% of all religion‑based hate crimes.
The AHA Foundation team has worked closely with our founder, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, to launch a strategic multiyear initiative to inspire our friends and neighbors to have the courage to confront the Islamist-driven antisemitism that gives cover and validity to all forms of antisemitism. With your partnership, we will recapture our cultural institutions by equipping people of goodwill to recognize it and confront it in workplaces, on campuses, in schools, and across our wider communities.
With your support, we can:
Equip and embolden college students to confront antisemitism on their campuses.
Help K-12 teachers recognize how curricula, standards, and even their own training have been shaped by antisemitic and pro-Islamist ideas.
Educate young journalists and media professionals on the geopolitical realities surrounding Israel, Islam, and the Middle East.
Amplify Ayaan’s voice on campuses, online, and before broader audiences to counter antisemitic and Islamist efforts to subvert Western institutions.
Our civilization depends on the vigilance of every citizen to confront the evil that seeks to destroy it. Every gift helps to inspire and empower a courageous stand against antisemitism.
