Why Your Voice Matters

Testimony Changes Minds.
Evidence Changes Policy.

Personal stories are not just emotional — they are the most powerful form of evidence. When decision-makers and institutions see the human cost of inaction, they respond.

📋

You Create the Record

Official statistics vastly under-count antisemitic incidents. Most go unreported. Your personal account fills in what the data misses — and creates a permanent, timestamped record that cannot be denied.

⚖️

Evidence for Action

Government inquiries, media investigations, and legal proceedings all require documented evidence. A well-maintained testimony archive becomes a resource for every future advocacy effort.

🤝

You're Not Alone

Many Australians have experienced antisemitism in silence, unsure if their experience "counts" or afraid of being dismissed. This archive shows the true scale — and that the community stands together.

🔒

Private and Permanent

Your submission is treated with complete confidentiality. You choose what is published and what remains private. The archive is permanent — your record endures regardless of what platforms or institutions do.

Submission Categories

What Kind of Story
Can You Share?

Every form of antisemitism matters. Choose the category that best describes your experience — or submit across multiple categories if your story touches more than one.

Examples: being called slurs in person, your property vandalised with antisemitic symbols, physical intimidation, receiving threats, your home or car targeted because of your faith or ethnicity.
1

Personal Experiences

Direct antisemitism, harassment, threats, or vandalism targeting you or your family.

Examples: excluded from opportunities because of your religion, colleagues making antisemitic remarks without consequence, pressure to hide your identity at work, unfair treatment by professional bodies, being passed over for promotion.
2

Workplace & Professional

Discrimination, hostile environments, or pressured silence at work or in professional settings.

Examples: antisemitic content taught or ignored in classrooms, students bullied for being Jewish, teachers making biased statements about Israel or Jewish history, school refusing to address complaints, university events where Jewish students felt threatened or excluded.
3

Education

Experiences in schools, universities, and TAFEs — for students, teachers, and parents.

Examples: coordinated harassment campaigns on social media, death threats via DMs, doxxing of your personal details, accounts reporting you for false reasons to get you banned, sustained hate speech, antisemitic content sent to you or posted publicly about you.
4

Online & Social Media

Harassment, doxxing, threats, or sustained hate speech directed at you online.

Examples: antisemitic chanting or placards at protests near you, incidents at synagogues or Jewish community events, being targeted at a shopping centre, market, or public gathering, disruption of commemorations such as Holocaust Remembrance Day.
5

Community & Public Life

Incidents at community events, places of worship, public spaces, or protests.

Examples: police failing to act on a complaint, a university refusing to discipline a student who made threats, a council ignoring antisemitic vandalism, a government body dismissing your report, a media outlet refusing to cover incidents. Include institution name if comfortable.
6

Institutional Failures

Police, councils, government bodies, or universities failing to act or respond appropriately.

You don't need to be Jewish to submit. If you witnessed antisemitism and did nothing — or said something — or felt shocked that it was tolerated, your account matters. Your witness testimony is part of this record.

Voices From Our Community

Australians Are Speaking Up

Across faiths, backgrounds, and states — Australians are refusing to stay silent. Here is what some of them have shared.

"

My daughter came home from school in tears. A classmate had told her that 'Jews deserved what they got.' The school did nothing when we reported it. I needed somewhere permanent to record that this happened.

I'm a pastor. My congregation is predominantly Christian, but what has been done to our Jewish neighbours is a profound moral failure. I submitted our church's formal statement of solidarity. Everyone should know where we stand.

Rev. James Nguyen
Church Leader, Brisbane QLD — Community Support
"

I was told by my manager to 'keep my head down' after I spoke up about antisemitic comments at work. I didn't have to prove it happened. I just needed to record it. This archive gave me that.

How This Works

From Individual Story
to Collective Impact

This platform is built on a four-stage model of community evidence generation, grounded in behavioural science.

Stage 01

Awareness

Reach every Australian who has a story to tell — through community networks, social media, and trusted voices.

Stage 02

Friction Reduction

Make submission as simple as possible. The easier the process, the more voices we hear. No account required. No legal complexity.

Stage 03

Social Proof

As the submission count grows, each new submission reinforces that this is a movement — and that others have stepped forward.

Stage 04

Archive & Action

The archive is delivered to policymakers, media, and advocacy groups as a body of evidence requiring institutional response.

Behavioural Science Foundation

Olson (1971) showed that collective action requires reducing the cost-to-benefit ratio for individuals — this platform minimises that cost. Tajfel & Turner's Social Identity Theory explains why seeing others submit amplifies participation. Cialdini's social proof principle drives the counter effect. And Kahneman's research on availability bias shows that concrete stories — not abstract statistics — move decision-makers.
