SPECIAL EVENT! Empowerment Through Allyship: Your Journey to Stand up to Jewish Hate
April 10 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Antisemitism in the U.S. is at crisis levels. It’s time to do something about it.
You’re invited to be part of a transformative movement that goes beyond conversation—a presentation designed to turn empathy into action.
Presented, in part, by the KC Ad Club, Kansas City AI Club, American Marketing Association-KC, and The Freelance Exchange of KC, this industry event will showcase VML’s Stand Up to Jewish Hate campaign, where you’ll discover why there’s a need for it, what’s being done about it, and how you, too, can be a catalyst to create lasting change in our industry.
- Learn why antisemitism is on the rise at concerning rates and how it’s making your Jewish friends, colleagues, employees, etc., feel.
- Come together to learn about VML’s #StandUpToJewishHate campaign, including its award-winning Super Bowl commercials for Robert Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism.
- Hear from community experts on the human and civil rights issues and how it can affect us all going forward.
- Get perspective to understand misconceptions and bias, and how to create meaningful change in the workplace.
- Receive tangible steps to implement immediately, including creative strategies to combat hate and promote inclusivity.
This is your opportunity to be a catalyst for change, while uniting the advertising/marketing industry for the greater good.
You have the power to do something. Are you ready to step forward, learn, grow, and make a real difference?
