Who We Are

Action On Antisemitism (AOA) is a fast-growing grassroots movement based in the UK, bringing together people of all faiths — and none — who share one urgent belief:

When Jews are unsafe, everyone is unsafe.

Antisemitism in Britain is now at record levels. Physical assaults, verbal abuse, intimidation in public spaces and even terror attacks have become a grim and growing reality. Too often, those in power respond with statements instead of solutions.

AOA exists to change that.

We do not issue platitudes. We demand action — and we get results.

Since launching in April 2025, AOA has delivered real-world impact across the country. Our campaigns have directly led to:

• The cancellation of antisemitic events
   
• Increased police restrictions on hate marches in Essex
   
• The removal of politicised and inflammatory flag displays in parts of London, Glasgow and Dublin
   
• The suspension of openly racist doctor Ellen Kriesels, following mass complaint campaigns coordinated by our members
   

These are not symbolic victories. They are concrete changes that have made communities safer.

The UK government has increasingly failed to take the firm action needed to protect Britain’s small Jewish community from intimidation and extremist influence. AOA is a growing national movement determined to change that — by holding institutions, officials and decision-makers directly to account.

Many people want to speak up — Jewish and non-Jewish alike — but don’t know where to start. It can feel overwhelming.

That’s where AOA comes in.

Every day, in our dedicated WhatsApp group, we issue fast, simple Action Alerts that take less than a minute to complete — and they work.

Our very first week of activity saw us launch a rapid-response campaign after Essex Police allowed a jihadist march to intimidate local Jewish residents in Westcliff during Pesach.

As a direct result:

• We secured a written commitment from Kemi Badenoch, Leader of the Conservatives, promising to raise the issue urgently with Essex Police.
   

This is what collective action can achieve.

We provide professionally drafted, fact-based emails that can be signed and sent in seconds. We also amplify important petitions and campaigns from other UK-based groups - because when we work together, our impact multiplies.

We are active on WhatsApp, Facebook and X, and our community is growing rapidly.

If you want to do your part in standing up to antisemitism - and be part of a movement that delivers real change - get in touch and join us.

Together, we are making sure antisemitism does not go unanswered.
