Campaign founder Samantha Ettus told CNN, "We have to stop antisemitism in its tracks and the only way to do that is to show people that it's not just the same Jewish influencers over and over again. We're not the only ones speaking out.
"Propaganda has made people think that standing up to antisemitism is political – and it's not. It is just as acceptable to stand up against antisemitism as it is any form of hate towards any ethnic group. "There is a lack of comfort or advocacy in the Hollywood community for the Jews. We have become this population that people are afraid to stand up for, and this campaign is trying to change that."
