GLENVIEW –Standing with Jewish communities and condemning the rise of antisemitism in the U.S., State Senator Laura Fine (D-Glenview) released the following statement:

“An attack on the Jewish community is an attack on all of us and the values we share as Americans. Condemning antisemitism must go beyond words. It means educating future generations, supporting community and national security efforts and ensuring that law enforcement has the resources needed to prevent and respond to hate crimes.  

 “We must stand together against antisemitism and all forms of hate. In Illinois, we have invested more than $50 million in nonprofit security grants to help protect our religious institutions and community centers, providing critical support for security upgrades, training, and preparedness. I will continue working to ensure that every house of worship and every community has the resources needed to keep their families safe.”
