Dear friends, I wanted to update you on key discussions from our most recent hearing at the Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism on January 23. This session
JCRC welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. The anticipated release of hostages provides a glimmer of hope during an immensely painful time.
We are proud to share an important milestone in the ongoing effort to safeguard our communities.
In the days since, we at JCRC have been in conversation about the votes of our senators and the way forward.
We are closely following the situation in the last hours, since Iran launched an unprecedented attack firing some 180 ballistic missiles indiscriminately at Israel’s civilian
Last night, at a small demonstration in support of the October 7 hostages in Newton, MA, there was a violent altercation and an individual was hospitalized. While the details of what happened are still being investigated, there should be no question that violence of any kind in our democratic society is abhorrent. People’s right to gather in civil, non-violent public demonstrations must be sacrosanct.
Today, we thank Governor Healey for signing a landmark budget that marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to combat antisemitism and all forms of hate. This budget is a testament to the Governor’s unwavering commitment to Massachusetts’s Jewish community, reflecting the Healey-Driscoll administration’s understanding of the challenges we face and their dedication to addressing them with tangible and impactful measures.
The Massachusetts Legislature has voted on the FY25 Budget, and it is now on Governor Healey’s desk for action.
We applaud the leadership of Senate President Spilka; House Speaker Mariano; Chairs Rodrigues and Michlewitz; and the entire legislature for adopting a budget that demonstrates a serious commitment to addressing antisemitism.
Last week, H.1985/S.1244, An act building community resiliency through mental health received a favorable report advancing to the Committee on Ways and Means. We celebrate the progress of this bill, newly filed this legislative session by State Representative Brandy Fluker Oakley (D-Mattapan) and State Senator Julian Cyr (D-Truro).
