(Jewish Group) Social Media Group Shares the Stories of Being a Jew on a College Campus
We are amidst a global awakening of reevaluating systemic racism and the ways in which minorities are persecuted and mistreated.
During this wave of change, a group of Jewish college students from across the country at universities including Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, Yale, UChicago, and USC–who have never met in person–has launched a platform to highlight the experience of Jewish students on campus.
In the three weeks since @jewishoncampus first posted on Instagram, the account has garnered over 11,000 followers, the team of students has since tripled in size from the original six co-founders, and the movement has received over 700 story submissions.
Like similar sharing platforms for other minority groups, Jewish on Campus amplifies young adults’ voices to anonymously share their experiences facing anti-Semitism. In recording incidents reported at 245 universities across the nation thus far, Jewish on Campus seeks to hold universities accountable, with the hope that action will be taken––regardless if this prejudice, stereotyping, microaggressions, and hate crimes come from students, professors, and faculty members.
