In response to mounting threats, 46 Jewish organizations, including the major Jewish groups from across the political spectrum, have come together to call on federal and state governments to fulfill their most basic obligation: to keep their citizens safe. Representatives of more than 40 organizations and roughly 100 communities will be in Washington June 25th –26th to advocate for government action necessary to protect our communities. The Jewish community cannot continue to bear the overwhelming financial and security burdens of this crisis alone. 



We urge you to call on your elected officials to adopt and implement the Jewish Community’s Six-Point Policy on Security, including: 

1. Increasing Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) funding to $1 billion. 
2. Providing dedicated funding for security personnel at Jewish institutions. 
3. Enhancing FBI intelligence capabilities to thwart domestic terrorism. 
4. Supporting local law enforcement capacity to protect Jewish institutions. 
5. Aggressively prosecuting antisemitic hate crimes. 
6. Holding social media and tech platforms accountable for amplifying antisemitic content. 

These measures are essential to ensuring Jewish Americans can gather, worship, and live without fear. 

Please contact your Members of Congress TODAY and urge them to support this security strategy. Your voice is vital. 

The JCRC is mobilizing community members to help our friends and neighbors impacted by the recent raids in Omaha. 

There are families being torn apart, and some children have been left without their parents. When things like this happen, people will suffer, along with our local economy- especially our factories and agriculture.

The work of supporting the most vulnerable in our community is crucial to our values as a Jewish community.

Many people are afraid to leave their homes for food and supplies, and we are collecting a number of items to donate. We are coordinating with our partners in the immigrant community for distribution. If you would like to help in our efforts, please bring donations to the JCC front entrance Monday-Friday during regular business hours until further notice. 

Thank you for your generosity during this distressing time. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Pam Monsky or Sharon Brodkey at the JCRC office.

TAKE ACTION: Urge Congress to Pass the Antisemitism Awareness Act

Reach out to your Representative today and urge them to support the swift passage of the Antisemitism Awareness Act. A vote for this bill is a vote for the Jewish community, a vote for Jewish students, and a vote against antisemitism. Together, we can ensure bipartisan support and pass this critical legislation.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress NO to Slashing Health & Food Programs

Congress is working on budget legislation that could slash healthcare, food access, and other essential public services – in order to fund sweeping deportations of longtime community members and to expand tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and large corporations. 

Approximately 30-40 thousand Nebraskans will lose coverage if Medicaid cuts pass. Read more from KETV7.
