New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft (MBA 1965) launched a $25 million "Stand Up to Jewish Hate" campaign last week, which is "aiming to raise awareness nationwide about soaring incidents of antisemitism online and in person," as reported by CBS News.

The campaign was launched through Kraft's Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and will feature public service television advertisements as well as a social media campaign. Kraft told the Associated Press that he hopes that the campaigns will "educate and empower all Americans to stand up against Jewish hate."

CBS also notes the ongoing work of the foundation, which monitors online antisemitism from a command center in Gillette Stadium. "It's going on constantly, and there's no let up, and it makes me sad, actually," Kraft told CBS. "This is the United States of America. I mean, it shouldn't happen here."
