Sara Jacobs (CA-51), the youngest Jewish Member of Congress, spoke on the House Floor about the rise of antisemitism and called for Congress to fully fund and implement the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.\n\nWatch Rep. Sara Jacobs\u2019 Floor Speech Here\n\nRep. Sara Jacobs said:\n\n\u201cAs the youngest Jewish Member of Congress, I know personally how hard it feels to be Jewish \u2013 because I live it every day.\n\n\u201cI was in the House Chamber on January 6th when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, wearing t-shirts saying \u201csix million was not enough. And I\u2019ve experienced antisemitism my whole life. Jokes about my big nose, my frizzy hair. Being called a kike while waiting to get a drink at a bar.\n\n\u201cAntisemitism was on the rise before October 7th, and now it\u2019s running rampant. In San Diego, we know how hateful and deadly it can be. Four years ago, we mourned a beloved community member who was killed in the Chabad of Poway \u2013 and it seems like every other week, we are washing swastikas off our buildings or sidewalks.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to President Biden for his leadership \u2013 for not politicizing our pain \u2013 and for bringing together Jewish Members to discuss a whole-of-society approach to countering antisemitism. We need to fully fund and implement the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism \u2013 to ensure that Jewish people are safe and respected everywhere.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m committed to this work \u2013 not just for a news cycle, but for life. And I hope that my colleagues will join me in this effort.\u201d\n\nLast month, Rep. Sara Jacobs voted to pass a resolution condemning antisemitic groups on college and university campuses. She\u2019s also an original cosponsor of a resolution, introduced by Reps. Jerry Nadler (NY-12), Jamie Raskin (MD-08), and Dan Goldman (NY-10), which condemns antisemitism and calls for the implementation of the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. Rep. Jacobs also attended a meeting at the White House today about the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s implementation of the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sarajacobs.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-sara-jacobs-denounces-rise-of-antisemitism-on-house-floor"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4013960026204586, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
