This resolution calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and community leaders to take action against antisemitism and educate Americans about Jewish-American contributions to the country. The resolution highlights the historical role of Jewish Americans since the nation's founding, including their support for religious freedom, their service in the military (with at least 18 Medal of Honor recipients), and their contributions to arts, science, business, and culture. The resolution emphasizes that antisemitic incidents in the United States have reached record levels—Jewish Americans face 15 percent of all hate crimes despite being only 2 percent of the population, and 91 percent of American Jews report feeling less safe. The resolution also notes that many Jewish institutions like synagogues and community centers lack adequate security resources, and that antisemitism is widespread on college campuses and online. The resolution asks the government and community leaders to condemn antisemitism, educate the public about Jewish-American heritage and accomplishments, protect the safety and security of Jewish Americans in workplaces and schools, honor Jewish military service members, and ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
