This App Gives You a Safe Way to Take Action Against Antisemitism

It’s understandable to feel a sense of exhaustion. Every day brings a new wave of headlines, hot takes, and arguments online, each demanding your attention and a response. For Jewish and Israeli students on campus in the U.S., this isn't just background noise; it’s personal. The pressure to speak up, to correct misinformation, and to represent your community can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re just trying to get through your classes. Deciding where to place your energy is a constant challenge, and the thought of downloading another app or joining another platform might seem like the last thing you need. It’s smart to be cautious about where you invest your time and who you trust.

A Safer Way to Make a Difference

In the current climate, taking a stand feels more complicated than ever. Since October 7, 2023, antisemitic incidents on U.S. college campuses have surged, leaving many students feeling isolated and unsafe. Studies show that a significant number of Jewish students have felt the need to hide their identity or have avoided expressing their views on Israel for fear of backlash. This isn't just about arguments online; it's about a real and growing sense of unease in daily life. The risk isn't just in staying silent—it's in speaking up without the right support or information. Sharing the wrong article or getting caught in a bad-faith debate can amplify the problem and expose you to further harassment. The real challenge is finding a way to act that is both effective and personally sustainable, without putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

This is where Emissary offers a different approach. Instead of asking you to lead the charge alone, we provide a secure starting point.
