Digital Design Associate

DESCRIPTION: The Blue Square Alliance Against Hate was founded in 2019 by Robert Kraft to stand up to Jewish hate and hate of all kinds. We uniquely reach unengaged, non-Jewish Americans, inspiring them to become allies through empathy-building national mass media, social advertising, and culturally relevant storytelling. We partner with and convene diverse leaders, organizations, and communities to build awareness and understanding, while our Command Center monitors the digital landscape 24/7 to understand where and how hate is spreading and conducts national research to inform our work.
