About Our Speakers

Carly Gammill is the Founding Director of the StandWithUs Center for Combating Antisemitism and simultaneously serves as Counsel for Litigation Strategy in the StandWithUs Saidoff Legal Department. A former constitutional litigator, Carly is active in fighting antisemitism on campuses, in local communities, in court, and at the United Nations. Her passion for this work derives in part from her background in the educational field, as well as from a deep personal conviction that the world--including people of all races and religions--cannot afford to stand by silently while the Jewish people are once again targeted, marginalized, demonized, and harmed. As an educator, Carly uses an engaging and interactive approach to offer practical tools for addressing antisemitism, both in response to specific incidents and as proactive measures that look toward preventing further occurrences of anti-Jewish bigotry.
