Amid widespread slashes to government funding, Donald Trump and Elon Musk blocked hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for security grants to protect synagogues, Jewish community centers, Jewish day schools, Jewish organizations, and other institutions. These funds were frozen for more than three months, and at a time of surging antisemitism and right-wing extremism, this directly threatens our community and our safety. The funding freezes were done recklessly, and without clarity or communication, which is incredibly dangerous given the real-life implications of blocking the Non-Profit Security Grants that have proven essential for hardening security for Jewish institutions that are under threat. While Trump blocked critical funding, members of Congress sought an increase in the program to make sure our communities are safe. Now, Trump's budget calls for sweeping cuts to the agencies that provide security grants.
Sign here to support an increase to the Non-Profit Security Grant Program and urge Donald Trump and our elected officials to continue security grants that protect synagogues, Jewish schools, community centers, and places of worship for Jewish and other communities.
