Jewish Federations are horrified by the recent acts of violence targeting our and other minority communities. These appalling acts remind us once again that targeted communities across our country face an urgent security crisis.

Our nation must invest in security programs that help protect vulnerable communities and prevent future attacks. As we pray for the safety and recovery of Chok Sung and Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, Congress must act. The Jewish American Security Act would strengthen protections for vulnerable communities and help build a safer country for all Americans.
