About The Pledge

​

The October 7 terrorist attack against Israel, which saw the brutal murder of more than 1,400 Israeli civilians, has led to an unprecedented surge of anti-Semitic violence and threats against Jewish people. In his testimony before Congress on November 1, 2023, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that over 60% of both hate crimes and terrorist attacks in the US target Jewish Americans, just 2% of the population. Indeed, Jewish Americans are worried about their security, including in their places of work. Pledging to prevent anti-Semitic terror from entering the workplace is not only the right thing to do, but is essential to attracting, retaining, and providing a safe environment for our Jewish associates and colleagues.
