Combating Hate and Bigotry

Take Action

Oppose the Travel Ban

As American Jews, we know our safety depends on a just and inclusive society. Policies that promote exclusion and embolden extremism put us all at risk. This bill responds to past abuses that targeted Muslim-majority countries, separated families, and fueled hate against marginalized communities.

Urge Your Representatives to Support Efforts to Improve Hate Crimes Reporting

In order to effectively counter rising hate, we need comprehensive laws that improve hate crimes reporting. Ultimately, behind every hate crime statistic is a person targeted for no other reason than their identity. Urge your representatives to support this bill and take meaningful action to address this national problem.
