AJC CEO Ted Deutch Unveils AJC’s New Combating Antisemitism Playbook at Global Forum 2026

Live from the AJC Global Forum stage, AJC CEO Ted Deutch announced the release of a groundbreaking new resource: AJC’s Combating Antisemitism Playbook: Strategies to Understand, Respond to, and Prevent Antisemitism. The Playbook offers tailored strategies for different sectors, recognizing that combating hate and strengthening democratic values requires collective action to ensure safe and thriving Jewish communities. Recognizing that the context surrounding antisemitism has changed dramatically and that strategies employed in the past are no longer sufficient, AJC undertook a complete overhaul of its Call to Action Against Antisemitism in America, which helped inform the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. Rather than revising existing guidance, AJC started from the ground up: listening to practitioners, learning from experience, and asking what every sector of society needs to know and do right now. It is built on years of research, advocacy, and partnership to counter antisemitism, strengthen democratic resilience, and rebuild trust. It is informed by the lived experiences of and direct insights from leaders across government, civil society, business, and academia. AJC’s Playbook is not a one-size-fits-all guide. Rather, in recognizing that every sector of American society has a role to play, it provides individualized roadmaps to help each of these sectors reach the same destination—a country and world that embraces and supports safe and thriving Jewish communities and upholds democratic values.
