Combatting Antisemitism from the Streets to the Courts: Turning Unrest into Accountability & Community Resilience

Roman moves beyond headlines to the real costs of violent anti‑Israel unrest—for public safety, campus life, and local economies—and explains how communities can convert injury into lawful accountability. He walks through a practical toolkit for documenting harm, aggregating claims, and pursuing civil remedies against organizing hubs and funding streams, while noting the limits and responsibilities that come with litigation (the program is informational and not legal advice).

Accountability is paired with resilience. Roman outlines how institutions can harden procedures, improve threat reporting, and partner with local law enforcement, all while keeping broad community support. He shows how donors and boards can tie funding to transparency and consequences, and how to reframe the narrative so that euphemisms no longer excuse intimidation. The session leaves audiences with a forward‑leaning plan that marries legal strategy, institutional governance, and persuasive communication.
