Historic Anti Defamation League’s “Countering Antisemitism Act” Introduced in Congress

This Historic bill is the most far-reaching antisemitism initiative ever to be introduced to Congress. The Countering Antisemitism Act offers a smart, innovative whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to combating hatred of Jews and protecting Jews around the country. It will create lasting structures to prioritize the fight against antisemitism, including a domestic National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism and a dedicated Task Force that meets regularly to coordinate efforts to fight antisemitism across agencies.

The act will also promote Holocaust education, address the scourge of antisemitism on college and university campuses across the country, support the life-saving Nonprofit Security Grant Program and more.
