Spread Cream Cheese Not Hate® is the largest student-run program working to combat antisemitism and all forms of hate on college campuses. Founded in January 2020 by Hillel at University of Florida, it reaches tens of thousands of individuals annually. 

Every January, Jewish and non-Jewish Bagel Day student volunteers invite the Gator Nation to sign the Spread Cream Cheese Not Hate® pledge. In appreciation of their participation, signers are given a free bagel and cream cheese. While the symbol for this program may be a bagel, this work is about so much more - it's about engaging in conversation and an opportunity to build a coalition.
