Jewish safety and our democracy are intricately linked and cannot exist without the other. When democracy has historically been threatened, Jews everywhere are less safe and more vulnerable to discrimination and persecution. We don’t need to look very far back in history to see this repeated time and again. Jewish Americans have been protected by our democracy, our civil liberties and free speech, free markets, pluralism, the rule of law, free and fair elections, which have afforded our communities security for generations.
