John,

Across the country, the Jewish community — our schools, synagogues, our community centers — are facing unprecedented threats to our safety and existence. Our institutions rely on the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) to help keep our congregations safe. We must protect NSGP funding so that faith-based institutions can be safe from threats and violence.

Tell the White House to Protect Funding to Keep Jewish Communities Safe From Hate

It forces a preschool to choose between new toys or an alarm system. It forces a JCC to choose between new athletic equipment or hiring security guards. It forces a synagogue to choose between new prayer books and bullet-proof windows. 

Nonprofit Security Grant Program funding affects thousands of places of worship, community centers, and religious schools. It allows Jewish and faith-based institutions to protect their communities from extremist violence. We cannot stand idly by.

This funding provides resources to religious institutions to protect themselves from extremist threats such as bomb scares, harassment, cyber-attacks and vandalism. Nonprofit Security Grant Program funding isn’t just about a budget — it’s forcing Jewish institutions to choose between safety and community. 

Join ADL in urging the White House to protect the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.

Sincerely, 
Lauren Wolman 
ADL Director of Federal Policy and Strategy
