What is a Chapter?
Jew-hatred exists across the United States and the world. It is one of the most pervasive and persistent forms of discrimination. Eradicating it requires concerted energetic actions at the grassroots level.
Chapters are the most effective way to build that network!
The central movement will provide training and organizational support. They also engage in regular actions. For example, handing out leaflets at a set location on a regular schedule is a simple way to get the message out and stay active.
It should be stressed that End Jew Hatred is a peaceful movement that acts within the law. We condemn violence in all its forms. If there is any doubt about protest actions you are planning, we can put you in touch with legal specialists to advise on certain actions.
How Chapters Operate
The chapter should meet weekly or once every two weeks to plan actions, undergo training and support and empower each other. Chapter organizing should take place through social media and in person. Each chapter should set up an official Facebook and Twitter presence to publicize events, as well as a WhatsApp group to facilitate communications. Decisions about chapter actions should take place in a formal meeting with a quorum of members (2/3rds).
Ideally a meeting should be in person where possible, but we recognize that is not always possible and encourage remote networking.
