YourVoice.Now Summary

A House statement urging leaders to counter antisemitism — it creates no new rules or spending.

The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution is a statement by the House, not a law. It sets no rules, spends no money, and gives no agency new power. The House agreed to it on May 13, 2026. The House asks elected officials, faith leaders, and other community leaders to speak out against antisemitism. It also asks state and local leaders to teach the public about what Jewish Americans have done for the country. The text points to FBI data: anti-Jewish bias made up two-thirds of religion-based hate crimes. Jewish Americans are about 2 percent of the U.S. population. The resolution also honors Jewish-American troops, including at least 18 Medal of Honor winners.

Congressional Summary
