Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to join in efforts to educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish American community.
HRES 1215 is a non-binding resolution calling on elected officials, civil society leaders, and educators to promote public awareness of Jewish American contributions. It urges these groups to condemn antisemitism, educate communities about Jewish Americans' historical and cultural impacts (including in science, civil rights, and arts), and support safety measures for Jewish communities. The resolution cites a 140% rise in antisemitic incidents in 2023 as context for its call to action. It does not create new laws or funding but seeks to elevate recognition of Jewish American heritage through education and public engagement. The resolution is directed at officials and leaders to foster broader understanding, not at specific policy changes.
