Rising antisemitic conspiracy theories and hate are a threat that undermines each and every American\u2019s safety and our core democratic norms and values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, antisemitism is being normalized in new and dangerous ways \u2013 used as a political weapon by those who seek to pit communities against one another and isolate Jews from the very coalitions we need to advance inclusive societies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re grateful for President Biden&#8217;s clear moral leadership confronting this threat, including through the historic U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. We urge Congress to quickly move the Countering Antisemitism Act forward for a vote, support robust implementation of the National Strategy, and significantly increase funding for the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s Office of Civil Rights to investigate fully and address acts of antisemitism \u2013 and all civil rights violations \u2013 on campus. It\u2019s time to make clear that just, inclusive societies are ones in which Jews and all communities are safe and free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>\n<p>About JCPA<br \/>\nThe Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is the national convener of Jewish coalitions, bringing together national and local partners to address the issues that most deeply affect our community and advance our most essential values. Our mission is to mobilize the robust community relations network in pursuit of a more just and democratic society for all, rooted in an abiding belief that Jewish security here and abroad is tied to the health of our democracy and strong relationships between communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Immediate Release: May 7, 2024 NEW YORK \u2013 In response to President Biden\u2019s remarks at the Days of Remembrance commemoration hosted by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA), issued the following statement: \u201cWe know that Jewish safety is inextricably linked to the safety of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,10,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-homepage-news","category-news","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
