The Department of Education plays an important role in protecting students from discrimination, including Jewish students. As the Trump administration moves to dismantle the Department and its Office for Civil Rights, communities need clear information about what these changes mean for Jewish safety, civil rights, and our democracy.

Jewish safety cannot be separated from the safety and rights of other communities. Weakening the institutions that protect students from discrimination puts Jewish students — and so many others — at greater risk.

This resource from JCPA provides key facts and talking points to help communities understand what is at stake and advocate for the safety, rights, and dignity of all students.
