With violent antisemitic incidents reaching all time highs across the country, a Chicago-based non-profit is teaching Jews how to protect themselves and, in some cases, how to fight back. Since its founding in 2004, Secure Community Network (SCN) has already trained tens of thousands of people in the Jewish community in the US and Canada on how to survive a terrorist situation and how to outfit synagogues and other public spaces with simple emergency measures such as automatic lock doors to ensure maximum protection. SCN also helps community groups write grants to the Department of Homeland Security to ask for financing for new security measures.
