Thank you, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, for standing with the United States’ greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel. As Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin said last night, we, too are “grateful for the professionalism and the skill of the brave U.S. troops who took part in yesterday’s actions.” The U.S. must do everything possible to ensure Israel is able to defend itself.

We thank the Virginia Senate and Virginia House of Delegates for their work on these important bills (SB7/HB18), and Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin for signing this bipartisan legislation, protecting people of every ethnicity across the Commonwealth. At a time when antisemitism is reaching historic levels in the United States (as stated by FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray), it’s essential to ensure that hate crime and discrimination laws include ethnic minorities, such as the Jewish people, who may not fit neatly into the language and words used to define other groups. We are proud to have supported this legislation with our friends from JCRC of Greater Washington, United Jewish Community of the Virginia Peninsula, and the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond!
