Governor Gavin Newsom just released the first-ever Golden State Plan to Counter Antisemitism. This is a robust set of policy initiatives & calls to action that will make a material difference on the safety and prosperity of the CA Jewish community. It also sets a moral standard for how California responds to hate and divisiveness targeting all communities. In the aftermath of October 7th, JPAC leadership met with Governor Newsom to highlight the skyrocketing antisemitism crisis and requested a statewide plan inspired by President Biden’s National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. The Golden State Plan released today is the result of five months of collaboration between JPAC’s statewide coalition, the Legislative Jewish Caucus led by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel and Senator Scott Wiener, and the Governor's office. At a time when antisemitic harassment, abuse, and violence has permeated all aspects of our society – our schools, workplaces, streets, and synagogues – this strategy will help us reverse the normalization of rising antisemitism and make California a safer place for all. Thank you, Governor Newsom! https://lnkd.in/g4pkpupt
