TAKE ACTION: Contact your senator to pass the SHALOM Act

After passing the North Carolina House in May, the SHALOM Act is expected to be up for a vote in the North Carolina Senate tomorrow, Wednesday, June 26.

Now is the time to contact your senator to encourage them to support this bill.

By passing the SHALOM Act, North Carolina will adopt the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, providing guidance to local governmental bodies, educational institutions, and law enforcement agencies on identifying and responding to antisemitic incidents.
