Tell Congress: No New ICE Funding Without Justice and Accountability

Right now, Congress is debating new funding for the Department of Homeland Security which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) — even as militarized immigration enforcement causes chaos, kills protestors, and rips families apart across the country.

This is not enforcing the law. It is not making communities safer. And it is being justified with antisemitic, xenophobic conspiracies.

Urge Your Senators to Stand Against Attacks on our Elections 

Join us in standing up to attacks on our elections! 

Recently, false conspiracy theories — rooted in an antisemitic lie of an immigrant invasion — have been used to undermine faith in our democracy and election. In addition to the recent raid in Georgia and the threat to “nationalize” elections, the President also signed an executive order making major changes to our elections that could disenfranchise millions — but he can’t implement those changes without Congress, and Congress works for us. Tell your Senators to stand against attacks on our elections and oppose the SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and the MEGA Act.

Tell Congress: Protect Jewish Community Safety

As antisemitism and extremist violence continue to rise, the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is one of the most important programs for protecting our communities.

At a time of rising violence, join us in urging Congress to ensure NSGP is fully funded, transparently administered, and free of any political requirements not related to the safety of our communities.

Tell Congress: Stop the Federal Government’s Spread of Violence in Our Cities

President Trump has sent military and federal forces into American cities — turning tools of defense into weapons of fear.

These deployments endanger lives, target communities of color, and erode the democratic values that keep us safe.

Congress must act now to stop the misuse of military power and reaffirm that our government’s duty is to protect the people — not to police them.

Tell your Representative: Stop the use of military force against civilians.

Tell Your Senators: Reject Antisemitism and White Supremacy

Extremist rhetoric is being elevated on national platforms, normalizing antisemitism and white supremacy — and putting Jewish communities and all of us at risk.

S. Res. 533 rejects this growing threat and affirms that Congress stands against hate.

Tell your Senator: Support the resolution.

Tell Congress: Fund Hate Crime Prevention Programs

Hate crimes are on the rise — including a disturbing increase in antisemitic attacks targeting Jewish communities. But programs to stop them have been cut or stopped by this Administration. 

Join us in calling on lawmakers to prioritize our safety and to restore funding for hate crime prevention programs. These programs help communities respond to and prevent hate violence, support victims, and ensure justice is served.

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.

Take Action to Protect Trans Kids

Trans kids, first and foremost, are kids – and kids deserve to live their lives free of bullying, both from other kids and certainly from the government that’s supposed to represent them. Anti-trans government actions – whether laws passed in state legislatures, executive orders from the White House, or simply irresponsible rhetoric coming from federal, state and local lawmakers  – are endangering trans children.

Support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

Attacks on voting rights seek to undercut communities’ fundamental rights and our democracy. Contact your representatives today to encourage them to safeguard the right to vote and prevent discriminatory laws.

Take Action

Support the Improving Reporting to Prevent Hate Act

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. 

Take Action

Urge Your Representatives to Protect Students

The Showing Up for Students Act would provide $280 million in additional funding for the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) – the office responsible for protecting the civil rights of students, including Jewish, Muslim, Black, LGBTQ+, and immigrant students.
