Urgent Action Needed
Protect Every Faith Community
Tell Congress to Pass the Jewish American Security Act
Synagogues, churches, and mosques face rising threats, and the federal program that helps them protect the people inside can't cover even half the requests it gets. The bipartisan Jewish American Security Act would grow that program toward $1 billion a year so communities of every faith can stay safe.
The cost of securing our community alone stands at an estimated $765M per year.
This security need affects all houses of worship and all communities of faith. This is a national domestic terror crisis, and we urgently need federal investments in law enforcement personnel, intelligence, preparedness, and prevention through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
