Take Action

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.

The House just passed a reconciliation bill that would gut Medicaid and SNAP — stripping health care and food assistance from millions, including children, older adults, and people with disabilities.

As the Senate takes up its part of the process, we must raise our voices. Attacks on basic human needs are a threat to our community and our values.

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.

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.

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.

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.
