Urgent Actions

Urge the President to Protect Jewish Institutions

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is in jeopardy. Funding to thousands of places of worship, community centers and religious schools rely on this life-saving program. President Trump’s potential cuts to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will impact NSGP’s ability to protect Jewish and faith-based institutions from extremist violence. Join ADL in urging the White House to keep the Nonprofit Security Grant Program off the chopping block.

Urge Your Governor to Fight Antisemitism

Everyone deserves to live without fear of discrimination or hostility. Your governor can bring schools, businesses and government agencies together to create a statewide strategy to stop the rise of antisemitism.
