How is the Jewish American Security Act doing today Thought for 4s It was just introduced on May 19, 2026 (two days ago), so it's in the very early stages. jewishfederations.org The Jewish American Security Act is a bipartisan bill led by Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and James Lankford (R-OK), with a companion in the House. It aims to strengthen federal responses to antisemitism through measures like:Dramatically expanding the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to $1 billion annually for security at synagogues, Jewish schools, community centers, and other at-risk nonprofits (a major increase from prior levels). Enhancing protections and enforcement on college campuses (including a Title VI framework and coordinator at the Department of Education). Requiring greater transparency from large social media platforms on how they handle antisemitic content. Improving hate crimes data collection and other coordination efforts. rosen.senate.gov It has broad support from a wide range of Jewish organizations across the political and denominational spectrum (e.g., ADL, AJC, Jewish Federations of North America, Orthodox Union, Republican Jewish Coalition, Jewish Democratic Council of America, and others). Jewish leaders are actively urging members of Congress to cosponsor and advance it. ajc.org Strong bipartisan foundation: Rosen (D) + Lankford (R), plus a House companion from Goldman (D) and Smith (R). This is designed for cross-aisle appeal. politico.com Unusually broad coalition: Nearly every major Jewish organization (ADL, AJC, Orthodox Union, Reform/Conservative groups, Jewish Federations, Republican Jewish Coalition, Jewish Democratic Council, etc.) is actively pushing it. Over 400 Jewish leaders were on Capitol Hill lobbying right after introduction. jewishfederations.org Timing and salience: Record antisemitic incidents create real momentum. Security grants for houses of worship and nonprofits tend to have wide support beyond the Jewish community. Vehicle strategy: Sponsors are already eyeing attachment to larger packages (e.g., defense authorization). This is how many policy riders pass. politico.com
