Congresswoman Shontel Brown’s first stand-alone bill has passed the House and is poised to pass the Senate with the help of Senator Sherrod Brown any day now.
Designating Bedford Heights’ own Kol Israel Foundation Holocaust Memorial as a national memorial in Ohio’s 11th Congressional District, this critical bipartisan bill ensures that the Kol Israel Holocaust Memorial receives the recognition it deserves as likely the oldest of its kind in the United States.
For six decades, the Kol Israel Foundation Holocaust Memorial has educated Ohioans about the horrors of the Holocaust and honors the memories of those lost to this evil. Its dedication as a national memorial is a recommitment to our fight against hate and injustice wherever it may stand.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
