Jewish students at the University of Connecticut and Hillel, the center of Jewish life on campus, are being BULLIED and SLANDERED.

Outside a large anti-Israel protest, Hillel hosted a table and respectfully handed out a variety of literature in a good faith effort to foster meaningful and productive conversations about a complex issue.

These students did not interrupt protests, nor attempt to subvert nor silence another student group. All they wanted was to present their own viewpoints and engage in respectful dialogue.

Rather than engage with the same level of respect, anti-Israel activists have begun a slanderous campaign attacking their Jewish classmates and Hillel. 

Jewish students deserve the same rights as everyone else - including the ability to express themselves in public spaces without being subjected to bullying and harassment. Antisemitism, islamophobia, and all forms of bigotry must never be tolerated.

President Andrew Agwunobi MUST take necessary and appropriate action moving forward to ensure the safety of the campus Jewish community.

SIGN THIS PETITION calling for ACTION from UConn to protect Jewish students and Hillel!
