Attention Massachusetts Residents: Take Action to Support Senate Amendment Combatting Antisemitism

Last month the Massachusetts Senate unanimously voted to adopt an amendment to address the rising levels of antisemitism in our Commonwealth. Agudah New England is deeply grateful to Senator John Velis, Senator Cindy Creem and Senator Becca Rausch for sponsoring this amendment and to the entire Senate for voting in support. The Senate amendment seeks to address antisemitism in K-12 schools and would create a statewide commission to counter antisemitism in Massachusetts.

The budget is now being debated by the conference committee where differences between the House and Senate versions of the budget are being negotiated. Our goal at this stage is to advocate for the inclusion of the Senate language relative to antisemitism in the final budget. Please use the action alert below to contact the conference committee members and your local state representative and senator to express your support. This language will send a clear message that antisemitism will not be tolerated in our Commonwealth.

If you can take an additional moment to personalize the message that will be even more impactful. If your senator cosponsored this amendment please also take a moment to thank them for their support.
