With antisemitic incidents at an all-time high, the Secure Community Network (SCN) is equipping Jewish communities in the U.S. and Canada with self-defense and emergency preparedness training. Founded in 2004, SCN has trained thousands to respond effectively to terrorist threats, emphasizing the importance of empowerment following tragic events like the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. Their recent discovery of an online toolkit for vandalism further underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures, prompting efforts to secure financing from the Department of Homeland Security for community safety initiatives.
"We have learned by experience over 3,500 years that antisemitism is never going to go away," said Masters, emphasizing the persistent threat and the need for community empowerment.
Michael Masters, the National Director of SCN, stated that the organization aims to "train and empower the community," especially following the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre.
SCN helps community groups secure funding from the Department of Homeland Security to enhance security measures, ensuring community safety amid rising antisemitism.
The recent discovery of an online terrorist toolkit highlights growing concerns about campus safety and the need for proactive protective measures in the Jewish community.
