Urge New Jersey to Fight Antisemitism & Pass Bill A3558

HELP US:

Tell all New Jersey legislators: Bring A3558 to the floor and vote YES to combat antisemitism.

New Jersey is facing an unprecedented surge in antisemitic incidents. The ADL reported the highest number ever recorded in the state in 2024 — making New Jersey third highest in the country. This rise in hate demands immediate, decisive action from our elected officials.

A3558 — the bill to codify the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism — has already passed both committees. The next step is critical: Lawmakers must bring A3558 to the floor for a vote, and we must encourage them to vote YES.

A3558 strengthens New Jersey’s efforts to fight antisemitism by:

  • Adopting a clear, consistent definition of antisemitism based on the IHRA Working Definition and its illustrative examples
  • Requiring the State of New Jersey to use this definition when investigating alleged acts of antisemitic discrimination

This legislation provides clarity, consistency, and stronger tools to protect Jewish New Jerseyans from rising hate.


Dispelling Disinformation

Opponents are spreading false claims about A3558. Here are the facts:

  • Defining antisemitism does not violate the First Amendment
  • It does not create special laws or unique protections for Jewish people
  • It simply clarifies how antisemitism manifests today, ensuring that existing laws protect Jewish communities as fully as they protect all others

New Jersey cannot afford to delay. Clear definitions save lives, guide enforcement, and help stop hate before it escalates.
