Tell your CA Senator to stop the antizionism = antisemitism bill

AB 715 is in the CA Senate and we need to stop it there. At the core of AB 715 is the weaponization of California's Uniform Complaint Procedures, which allows students and families to report incidents of discrimination in schools. Under AB 715, educators and school staff could face punishment simply for discussing the history and current events surrounding Israel and Palestine, particularly when those discussions include critical perspectives on the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza. This bill opens the door for political censorship in our classrooms, where reason and truth should prevail, not fear.

AB715 also wants to establish a state antisemitism coordinator that will stand alone in CA as the one identified ethnic/racial/religious group that would have such a coordinator.
