NEW: We’ve brought together a broad coalition of organizations representing mainstream American Jewry, condemning the exploitation of our community’s real concerns about antisemitism to undermine democratic norms and rights and our academic institutions. jewishpublicaffairs.org/pres…
There is real work to do to counter antisemitism and advance Jewish inclusion in our schools and unions. But a report that misrepresents or ignores the work underway only serves a political agenda, not Jewish students and educators.

Paying people to report their neighbors for “government fraud” risks turning racialized conspiracy theories into real-world harassment and violence. We can protect taxpayer resources without scapegoating communities or putting people at risk.
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "All Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"
Two weeks before Election Day, JCPA is raising concerns about the White House’s new cash reward program for reporting alleged government fraud — and the dangers it poses to Black and brown communities.

A year after being called out for using the antisemitic term “Shylock” and claiming he didn’t know it was problematic, Trump has used it again.
This is not an accident. Normalizing antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories is deeply dangerous. forbes.com/sites/siladityara…
Rising white nationalism is a top threat to our communities — no matter our background.
For the Hindu community, this hate came to the doors of a temple in IL. This normalized extremism needs to be rejected, & until it is, none of us are safe.

Earlier this week, we joined @AAAJ_AAJC and other civil rights groups in a joint statement on the reality of hate crimes facing our communities — and what can be done to end this crisis of hate.

Unchecked lies about our elections undermine our democracy & safety.
From inspiring the events of Jan. 6 to this DOJ weaponization against voters, we must reject these "stolen election" conspiracy theories so deeply rooted in racism & antisemitic tropes.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we stand with immigrant communities facing fear and uncertainty amid dehumanizing immigration policies.
No person should be targeted in their community because of where they were born, what language they speak, or what they look like.

A decline in reported hate crimes is not synonymous with safety. JCPA and @AAAJ_AAJC brought together 35+ organizations to call for more accurate FBI data and stronger hate crime prevention.

Today marks the anniversary of the 1979 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights — a historic moment when LGBTQ+ people demanded dignity, equality, and justice. Protecting LGBTQ+ rights is core to Jewish values and all of our safety.

However you feel about Omar and her policies, this should raise major red flags as the Trump administration continues to weaponize the federal government against its political opponents.

JCPA & @AAAJ_AAJC brought together a broad coalition of national groups to warn that the FBI's hate crime data does not capture the threats we're facing - and to demand action.

For over 80 years, JCPA’s Jewish community consensus policies addressed everything from hunger to the environment to human rights. But we never addressed public executions. We thought something so barbaric and cruel didn’t need to be said. We were wrong.

Yesterday, JCPA called on candidates in both parties to reject antisemitism, political violence, intimidation, and hate.
Read Jewish Insider’s coverage of our open letter and why holding high standards for our elected officials matters.
The Jewish Council for Public Affairs called on Democratic and Republican candidates to reject antisemitism and political violence, including within their own political coalitions, ahead of November’s midterm elections, warning that conspiracy theories about Jewish influence and efforts to exclude Jews from public life have become increasingly normalized.

The President is using white supremacist replacement lies - “taken over” - to seemingly call for violence against the Somali community in Minnesota, while offering federal support in doing so.
This is incredibly dangerous, on so many levels.
Our open letter to political candidates and leaders: you have a fundamental responsibility to draw a line — rejecting rhetoric, tropes, and conspiracy theories that fuel violence and threaten our communities and our democracy.

Somehow, it’s been three years since we woke up to a nightmare.
Our CEO @amyspitalnick reflects on 10/7, all that’s followed, and how we build a different future.
Three years after October 7 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust - we remember and we mourn.
And three years later, it is painfully clear how that day - and everything that has followed - have only reinforced trauma, division, and fear.

We can counter antisemitism in all of its forms AND reject Islamophobia, anti-Arab hate, racism, and all bigotry. We can advance both Jewish safety and truly inclusive democracy.
