Founded by journalists, distinguished public servants, human rights advocates, and 9/11 family members, ACCE concurs with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime that “civil society is a key factor in preventing and countering violent extremism conducive to terrorism.” ACCE’s leadership, hailing from diverse communities and faith groups, will work with other like-minded groups and institutions to galvanize constituencies across party lines to develop tailored strategies and stakeholder support for the advancement of educational, legislative, and policy initiatives to achieve its objectives.

ACCE will work closely with governments, communities, and civil society to protect vulnerable constituencies from antisemitic radicalization, which constitutes a profound security threat not only to the Jewish community but to the United States and other democracies.
