Your Message:
“Please stop legislation that includes the IHRA definition of antisemitism from going to a vote in NJ. Instead, meet with a diverse coalition of experts and residents in NJ, including Jews, Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims, to discuss an alternative definition, the NJ Statement on Antisemitism and Islamophobia. Contact the Palestinian American Community Center to arrange a meeting:

Why It Matters:
The IHRA definition has already suppressed our freedom of speech in NJ. We must act now—if it goes to a vote, we risk losing our rights.
What You Can Do:
1. Find Your Legislator:
Visit njleg.state.nj.us, check your district, and identify your representatives. Keep their names and numbers handy!
2. Spread the Word:
Encourage friends who support Palestinian liberation to call their representatives as well. Ask them to meet with the Palestinian American Community Center to learn about our struggles.
3.Make Your Voice Heard:
If any listed representatives support this bill, ask them to withdraw their names. Call, leave voicemails, and share your actions on social media.
4. Join the Movement:
Visit the PACC website under “Get Involved” to join our Phone Tree for alerts on local actions.
Together, we can protect our rights and promote a just dialogue!
