The Antisemitism Legal Helpline offers up to 30 minutes of free summary legal advice from a qualified lawyer to persons who have experienced antisemitism. It also offers general legal information to support, educate and empower British Columbians who experience antisemitism.
** Access Pro Bono facilitates the Antisemitism Legal Helpline's day-to-day operations, but it is led by an independent steering committee of Jewish lawyers.
If you believe you have experienced an act of antisemitism and you need legal advice, you may contact the Antisemitism Legal Helpline by calling 778-800-8917 or by emailing alh@accessprobono.ca.
Antisemitism can be experienced in different places such as at work, within a strata or co-op, or when accessing a service, like at a restaurant or coffee shop. The Helpline's volunteer lawyers will confidentially help you understand your rights and legal options.
When you contact the Helpline, its Coordinator will review your matter and, if necessary, contact you for more information. They will then connect you to an appropriate lawyer who will provide free legal advice for up to 30 minutes. If you need ongoing advice or support, the Helpline's Coordinator will connect you to other appropriate resources.
