February 6, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Laura Gillen (NY-04) released the following statement after H.R. 1007 , the Antisemitism Awareness Act, was reintroduced in the House. Gillen is an original co-sponsor of the reintroduced bill and joined Reps. Lawler and Gottheimer in speaking at the reintroduction press conference . “ The scenes we’ve seen from our schools and college campuses since October 7th, including Columbia and Cooper Union, have been shocking and unacceptable. Students should never feel unsafe simply because of their faith. Congress must do more to root out antisemitism and protect Jewish students from the targeted harassment and bigotry that has become all too common. I’m proud to join Rep. Mike Lawler and Rep. Josh Gottheimer in reintroducing the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act .” CONTACT: Vidhya Jeyadev , 202-669-5538
