ACT NOW: Ensure Both Parties Address Antisemitism
Join American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, in sending a clear message to the leaders of both parties: Antisemitism is a non-partisan issue that both parties must address.
Since Hamas’ brutal terror attack on October 7th, global antisemitism has skyrocketed, including in the U.S. Over the last 9 months, American Jews have been assaulted at school events, students harassed and threatened on college campuses, businesses vandalized, and synagogues put under siege by protestors.
Elected officials must seriously confront this problem, and it starts by naming it outright.
As the Republican and Democratic National Conventions kick-off, we are urging the leaders of both parties to call out antisemitism. Without a vocal and continued emphasis on the need to counter antisemitism, U.S. political leadership will fail to meet the moment and the needs of the Jewish community. American leadership must not turn a blind eye to a fundamental threat to our American democratic values. When societies cannot protect their Jewish populations, they often fail to protect their democracy as well.
We, the undersigned, call on the leaders of both parties: If you truly stand with the Jewish community, you must commit yourselves, your parties, and your communities to fighting antisemitism.
Since Hamas’ brutal terror attack on October 7, Jewish diaspora communities around the world are reeling from antisemitism. In America, Jews have been assaulted, harassed, and threatened on the streets, on college campuses, at their stores, and in their places of worship.
The American Jewish community is looking to our leaders – Democrats and Republicans – to stand with us.
