  • Families and Jewish communities: It urges steps to ensure safety, security, and dignity in daily life, workplaces, houses of worship, and higher education settings.

  • Jewish institutions: It highlights security gaps by noting about 50 percent of Jewish institutions with a physical presence lack adequate protection resources.
  • Servicemembers and veterans: It highlights Medal of Honor recipients from the Civil War through Afghanistan and calls for honoring Jewish Americans who served with distinction.
  • Public leaders and the public: It asks elected officials and executive, state, and local leaders to condemn antisemitism as Jews face about 15 percent of recorded hate crimes while making up roughly 2 percent of the population.
