Members of Florida Delegation Call on Congress to Fund U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism

Last week, members of the Florida congressional delegation called upon Congress to “implement the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, in response to an unprecedented increase in hostility toward the Jewish community amid Israel’s war against Hamas.”

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the founder and co-chair of the Interparliamentary Task Force to Combat Online Antisemitism, and U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., the co-chair of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism, led the letter to the leadership of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House Appropriations Committees.

More than 50 House members signed the letter including U.S. Reps. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., Kathy Castor, D-Fla., Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., Lois Frankel, D-Fla., Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., and Darren Soto, D-Fla., signed the letter. ADL, the American Jewish Committee, Jewish on Campus, and Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America are supporting the letter.
