Great work by our friends at @jcrcstl!

Loading up the buses and preparing for our caravan to Fort Sill OK. The plans to open this facility is on hold, but our message is still as relevant as ever: stop separating families, treat people humanely, and ensure a path for people to find a better life in our country.

[Heartland for Human Justice @ForHeartland]

We're getting ready to load the buses. Over 100 people from 25+ organizations including: @ADLHeartland @NCJWSTL @jcrcstl @CRCStLouis @archstl @WomensVoicesSTL @ShaareEmeth

Tonight, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a #bipartisan resolution with 350 cosponsors, reaffirming what we have long known about the #antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (#BDS) movement against #Israel. Here’s what it said: (thread) #YesOn246

[JCRC @OrlandoJCRC]

Thank you @RepStephMurphy @RepDarrenSoto and @RepValDemings for cosponsoring this important resolution to oppose the #antisemitic #BDS movement. #YesOn246 #FlaPol

Thank you, Rep. Murphy, for your continued support of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

Today the House passed a resolution I cosponsored that opposes the global #BDS movement because it makes a just peace harder & moves us away from negotiations that could lead to a two-state solution and greater security in the Middle East.

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Today we celebrated the inaugural @ELALUSA nonstop flight between Orlando and Tel Aviv at @MCO! This new route will help attract more visitors to the Sunshine State and will provide exciting new tourism opportunities for both Floridians and Israelis.

Great to welcome @GovRonDeSantis, @LiorHaiat, @KasaBHarbor and many more to Orlando for the inaugural MCO-TLV direct flight on @ELALUSA. #FlaPol #CityBeautiful

Holocaust denial is a form of antisemitism. Thank you, Rep. Smith.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

As an alumnus of Spanish River, I find these comments disgraceful. The Holocaust is not a belief, it’s a historical fact and an evil atrocity against our Jewish siblings and against our humanity. We have ZERO obligation to appease any ignorant person who thinks otherwise.

Our recommendations, a thread (1/7) ⬇️

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

A nation’s immigration policy is an expression of its humanity. We seek to protect American values and ideals by reforming the draconian measures currently in place, which negate so many of the democratic principles for which we stand.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

We continue to denounce the inhumane conditions at immigration detention centers and border holding facilities along the Southern border, which violate federal law and “common decency.” https://t.co/qqyLIIj6pT

[The Jewish Federations of North America @jfederations]

We're #FedProud to be part of a community that's inclusive to all Wishing everyone a happy and safe #Pride! #WorldPride

[JCRC @OrlandoJCRC]

We call on our elected officials to put aside partisanship and to act quickly, courageously, and compassionately to end this un-American policy.

[JCRC @OrlandoJCRC]

All those seeking a better life in America deserve to be treated with compassion & humanity, regardless of protected status, country of origin, eligibility for asylum, or any other metric by which the government classifies immigration cases.

[JCRC @OrlandoJCRC]

As Jews, we have a moral, ethical, and historical obligation to speak out during times of injustice. In the Torah (Lev. 19:16) we are compelled to act to the fullest extent we are able, in order to save, preserve, or protect human life.

[Commissioner Nikki Fried @NikkiFriedFL]

As we pause to celebrate #Juneteenth — the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved people in the United States 154 years ago — we reflect upon and recognize the important roles African Americans have played and continue to play in the agriculture community.

[Archive: U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy @RepStephMurphy]

#Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in this country. While it’s a day to celebrate the progress we’ve made in the pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice, it is also a reminder that much more work remains before we can fully live up to those ideals.
