According to the FBI and the NH Jewish Federation, antisemitism hate crimes are on the rise here in New Hampshire. We also know that implicit racial biases cause issues in New Hampshire for Black Granite Staters, such as having a higher likelihood to be arrested, charged and incarcerated than white citizens. As the risks and incidents increase, it is imperative we take decisive and bold action to declare that white supremacy is not welcome in New Hampshire. Not in our legislature, and not in our streets.

The Pledge:

“I pledge to stand against racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, and antisemitism in our state. I will hold myself and my colleagues accountable when we make mistakes or perpetuate white supremacy through our work or our words. Racist, antisemitic, islamophobic, and xenophobic actions and words have no place in our public or private forums, and I commit to using all available resources to stop white supremacist violence in our state. This includes supporting legislation that works to address these issues and opposing legislation that will cause further harm. I believe it is lawful and moral to expel any colleague or subordinate who participates, shows support for, or allows violence of that nature to happen without intervention.”
