RICI has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Anti-Semitism, which includes acts of Jew-hatred whether from anti-Zionist groups on the left or neo-Nazis on the right.

If you witness or believe you are the victim of an anti-Semitic act, contact us and we may be able to help.
RI Coalition for Israel (RICI) is a community partner for law enforcement training with the RI Attorney-General's Civil Rights Division.

"Activity" includes speech, vandalism, harassment/assaults, public display of Nazi symbols, and discrimination.
"Activity" ALSO includes anti-Zionist and other anti-Jewish rallies, recruitment, etc.

A neo-Nazi organization known as the Nationalist Social Club (NSC) has been established in Rhode Island and in May 2021 participated in a White supremacist rally at the RI Statehouse. In February 2022 it was widely reported that they disrupted a reading of The Communist Manifesto at a leftist private library in Providence.

On the political Left there are several well-organized groups which during 2021 openly equated Israel with Hitler and Stalin and/or have publicly called for the destruction of the Jewish State by their support of the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) movement. These include Black Lives Matter - RI, the Islamic Center of RI,  East Bay Citizens for Peace, and the Democratic Socialists Party of RI (which has an elected official in the RI House, David Morales).
