AJC Chicago joined fellow Jewish community leaders on March 4 at a press conference calling on City of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to implement recommendations from the Chicago Commission on Human Relations to address rising antisemitic hate crimes in Chicago.
Alongside partners including Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago and Anti-Defamation League, Chicago alderpersons, and local rabbis, AJC Chicago Regional Director Sarah van Loon highlighted the Commission’s July 2025 Hate Crimes Report, which found a 58% increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes, even as incidents targeting most other groups declined.
Following public hearings that included testimony from Jewish Chicagoans, the Commission issued recommendations to strengthen protections for the Jewish community. At the press conference, van Loon urged the Mayor to act without further delay to ensure the safety and security of Jewish Chicagoans.
