Rep. Frankel. \u201cNo one should have to fear for their safety while practicing their faith or gathering to celebrate Jewish life. The Jewish American Security Act is an important bipartisan bill that will enhance and strengthen federal protections for the Jewish community and counter antisemitism. I\u2019m proud to join my colleagues in this effort.\u201d\n\nThe bill would:\n\nAuthorize the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) at $1 billion and improve the program by allowing the use of grant funding to hire security personnel, improve the application process, and ensure clearer access to grant opportunities;\n\nMandate the Department of Justice award grants to state and local law enforcement to increase security around religious sites;\n\nRequire civil rights training and public awareness campaigns in schools, create an Antisemitism Coordinator at the Department of Education, and require increased transparency from social media platforms on how they are handling antisemitic content on their sites.\n\nFor full text of the bill, click here.\n\nRelated News\n\nRep.
