About This Action
Amidst a rise in antisemitism, Jewish schools, synagogues, and other institutions need to be protected. Take action to secure our communities by writing to your state officials.
In the weeks since the devastation in Israel began, we have experienced a rise in antisemitic incidents and threats right here in our communities. Numerous yeshivas and Jewish day schools have been forced to close on days following threats, parents have kept their children home, and Jewish institutions have had to pay out of pocket for increased security and private guards.
Deputy Majority Leader State Senator Michael Gianaris, recently announced a historic push to double NYS security funding to nonpublic schools - going from $45 million to $90 million. Two letters, authored by Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris and Assemblymember Andrew Hevesi, are now with Gov. Hochul for consideration.
Now, it's our turn to act.
Fill out and send this letter to Gov. Hochul urging her to take action, protect our children and provide vital funding to our institutions.
