FROM CAMPUS TO COURTROOM: Fighting Antisemitism Where It Starts to Where It Spreads
with Adela Cojab
Adela will take us behind the scenes of headline-making legal battles and high-stakes advocacy, revealing what really happens when students, schools, and the government collide over antisemitism. Through powerful personal stories, sharp legal insights, and an unflinching call to action, she will demonstrate how the fight begins in the classroom—but doesn’t end there. This is not just a talk—it’s a wake-up call.
