Recent reports have highlighted instances of antisemitism at Haverford College, including Jewish students feeling unsafe displaying their identity on campus. Despite our efforts to address these issues, the College has not taken meaningful action to show that they are concerned about the rise of antisemitism. 

Yesterday, an event promoting a modern-day blood libel took place on campus. This event, which accused Israel of weaponizing COVID-19 against Palestinians, is deeply concerning and underscores the urgent need for the College to take more forceful action to condemn antisemitism and support Jewish students.

Please join us in contacting President Wendy Raymond at Haverford College to demand that the College take immediate and meaningful steps to address antisemitism on campus.

You can call the University at (610) 896-1021 or email President Raymond directly at president@haverford.edu. Let President Raymond know you stand against antisemitism and expect the College to take immediate and meaningful steps to address these concerns.
