2025 Paris Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism:
Defending Values, Promoting Culture, and Inspiring Change
The fight against antisemitism begins at the local level, and mayors are on the front lines. After successful summits in Athens, Beverly Hills and Dortmund, more than 150 mayors, and municipal leaders from across Europe alongside policymakers, and civil society experts will now gather in Paris in November for the 2025 Paris Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism, hosted by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and City of Paris.
As antisemitism and hate-fueled extremism rise at an alarming pace, the role of municipal leaders has never been more urgent. This summit is a call to action. It is a dynamic and high-impact event where mayors and city officials will come together to share strategies, forge partnerships, and chart a path forward for cities to confront antisemitism with clarity and purpose.
As home to Europe’s largest Jewish community, Paris has long stood at the crossroads of Jewish history and cultural contribution. Under the theme “Defending Values, Promoting Culture, Inspiring Change”, the 2025 Summit will explore the critical role of cities in advancing tolerance, safeguarding Jewish life, and building mutually respectful societies for all.
The Combat Antisemitism Movement’s work with mayors is reshaping how cities across the globe and in Europe confront antisemitism, moving from symbolic gestures to measurable, strategic action.
We hope you'll join us in Paris this November for a summit rooted in action, resilience, and hope. Real change starts in our cities, where courageous leadership can turn the tide against antisemitism.
