1 . Host the County ’ s First-Ever Summit to Combat Antisemitism
At the Broward County Summit to Combat Antisemitism , AJC gathered national and local leaders who are committed to addressing , combating , and preventing antisemitism .
2 . Increase Public Awareness of Antisemitism
The campaign reached millions of Floridians via targeted digital banner , radio , and circular print ads ; physical billboards ; social media marketing ; and partnerships with 37 libraries .
3 . Build Strategic Alliances Within the Community
AJC Miami and Broward led antisemitism trainings and educational workshops for business and nonprofit leaders , law enforcement and elected officials , college and high school employees , and parents of Jewish students .

The Dallas / Fort Worth Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council , convened by AJC Dallas , continued the annual tradition of an Iftar dinner , the fast-breaking meal during Ramadan . The 2024 event was held at the George W . Bush Presidential Center .
AJC LOS ANGELES
To better understand the histories of anti-Asian and anti- Jewish persecution , AJC Los Angeles co-sponsored a mission to Manzanar , the World War II incarceration camp north of Los Angeles . The delegation of Japanese American and Jewish American leaders shared their experiences overcoming government-sponsored persecution and the loss of societal rights . The mission was an exercise in allyship , coming at a particularly precarious time for the Jewish community .
