Great News! Gov. Gavin Newsom signed three JCRC priority bills this weekend, focused on combating the escalating antisemitism crisis we're witnessing throughout our schools. Thank you to our partners at the California Legislative Jewish Caucus and Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California (JPAC) for pushing these bills across the finish line! ✍️ 📃 AB 2925 (Friedman): Requires antisemitism to be included in college campus DEI trainings 📃 SB 1287 (Glazer): Requires college campus codes of conduct standards and enforcement 📃 SB 1277 (Stern): Establishes the Teachers Collaborative on Holocaust and Genocide Education

Antisemitism has often been overlooked in DEI initiatives, but with the rise in hatred toward Jews nationwide, it’s more important than ever to educate people on the diverse and intersectional identities within the Jewish community. ✡️📚 JCRC Bay Area’s Here I Am: Jewish Identity and Antisemitism Training is here to address this gap. 💡 Our customizable workshops provide historical context on antisemitism, explore its persistence through the centuries, offer tools to identify it, and clarify the difference between criticizing Israeli policies and demonizing an entire people. 🛠️🌍 Discover how this program can benefit your workplace or community: https://jcrc.org/hereiam/ 🏢💼

On October 7, we will mark one year since the horrific attacks in Israel with a #DAYOFYELLOW. Amid the fear and shock of that terrible day, 1,200 individuals were massacred, and another 250 were taken hostage. These are not mere numbers, but lives that were ended and families forever altered. Join us in honoring the people we lost and the hostages who remain in captivity with #DayofYellow actions and events.🎗️ Learn more at: tinyurl.com/DayofYellow
