ADL’s annual audit of antisemitic incidents was published today. Reports of antisemitic incidents have jumped over 800% over the past 10 years to a record 8,873 in 2023. Of these 922 were on college campuses including CU and 1987 were bomb threats to synagogues including Bonai Shalom and Har HaShem here in Boulder.
These are just reported incidents, most incidents are never reported.
ADL feels that it is time for state leaders to step up and protect our communities. It’s crucial that Governor Polis develop a comprehensive strategy to counter this rise in antisemitism. This plan should call on all parts of government as well as schools, businesses, community organizations, and law enforcement to do their part to ensure Colorado is doing everything it can to tackle hate.
Join ADL in calling on Governor Polis to take bold action against antisemitism today and make Colorado safer for everyone. Use this link to send a message to the governor.
