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

The deployment of aggressive federal law enforcement tactics threatens public safety and undermines the democratic relationship between government and its citizens.

Congress must act now to ensure greater accountability and transparency and to deescalate the increasingly militarized law enforcement targeting our communities.

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.

Urge Your Representatives to Oppose the SAVE Act

Any actions that make our democracy less representative, make it easier to exclude voters, advance bigoted or racist conspiracy theories, or embolden extremist groups leave us all less safe. The SAVE Act does all of this. Tell your Senators to oppose this bill today and ensure that millions of Americans will retain voting access.

Take Action

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.
