Building Digital Resilience: How AMOS is Strengthening Efforts Against Online Antisemitism

As it is the 10th anniversary of the Copenhagen terror attack, we take a moment to remember the victims and recognize the incredible efforts of organizations that emerged in its wake.

One such initiative is AMOS – Alliance Against Online Antisemitism, launched in 2023 as a program supported by the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces, and driven by Nordic Safe Cities and the Jewish Information Center. The program aims to counter online antisemitism by analyzing its scope, mobilizing civil society organizations, and piloting new prevention efforts.

We are proud to announce that AMOS has received continued support from the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces to extend our work for another three years. This allows us to pilot new prevention initiatives and create safer digital spaces in Denmark, reducing hate, discrimination, and antisemitism online.

The digital landscape is unpredictable — decisions by tech leaders like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg can transform online ecosystems overnight. This means that countering online antisemitism requires adaptable and resilient programs that bring together authorities, civil society, and digital communities.

Nordic Safe Cities has spent years operationalizing policies and action plans to make cities and communities safer. Our work spans various efforts—from tackling disinformation in elections to preventing gang-related crime and strengthening digital democracies. We take well-crafted governmental policies and turn them into concrete action in cities and on the ground.

This methodology was applied to antisemitism through AMOS, taking inspiration from our Safe Digital City initiative, which has helped cities combat online hate since 2020.
