Passed House

Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism and educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish American community.

119th Congress Introduced Apr 24, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This resolution is a nonbinding House statement about antisemitism and Jewish-American public life. It calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society leaders to condemn and counter all acts of antisemitism. It calls on the executive branch and state and local leaders to educate the public on Jewish-American contributions and to uplift Jewish stories and voices. It also states that the House should take all possible steps to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of American Jews in workplaces, college and university campuses, synagogues, homes, and other aspects of life.

Who Benefits and How

American Jews benefit because the resolution names antisemitism as a threat and calls for safety, security, and dignity in daily life. Jewish students benefit because college and university campuses are specifically named as settings needing protection. Synagogues and Jewish worshippers benefit because the resolution connects public safety to places of worship. Jewish-American community organizations benefit from a congressional call to educate the public about Jewish-American contributions. State and local leaders benefit from a clear federal message supporting public education and counter-antisemitism work.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society leaders must respond to political pressure to condemn and counter antisemitism. Executive-branch officials and state and local leaders are pressed to educate the public and uplift Jewish stories and voices, although the resolution does not create enforceable duties. Workplaces, campuses, synagogues, and community institutions may face scrutiny if they fail to protect Jewish Americans. Antisemitic actors bear reputational pressure because the resolution calls for all antisemitism to be condemned and countered.
