RJC Supports Antisemitism Awareness Act

Washington, DC -- Republican Jewish Coalition National Chairman Senator Norm Coleman and CEO Matt Brooks released a statement in support of the Antisemitism Awareness Act introduced yesterday by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY).

We’re grateful to Congressman Lawler, who is a remarkable friend of the Jewish community and our causes - and to fifty-eight members from both parties who signed on as original cosponsors of this vital bill.

Last year, Mike Johnson got the Antisemitism Awareness Act passed through the House with 320 votes, but Chuck Schumer blocked it in the Senate.

Thanks to the American people, Schumer is now in the minority – and the Jewish community’s push to base federal investigations of anti-Jewish discrimination on the full definition of antisemitism proposed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance is a big step closer to success.
