As Congress faces the summer recess and the upcoming election, there are concerns within the Jewish community about the stalled progress of two major antisemitism bills, the Antisemitism Awareness Act (AAA) and the Countering Antisemitism Act (CAA), in Congress.

Over 60 Jewish organizations from across the political spectrum have united to support the Countering Antisemitism Act, which aims to establish a national coordinator to combat rising antisemitism in the U.S.

Alan Solow criticizes the recent passing of the Antisemitism Awareness Act (AAA) by the House, arguing that it undermines President Biden's comprehensive National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism by rigidly codifying the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism.

The House passed the GOP-led Antisemitism Awareness Act with bipartisan support but faced opposition from top Democrats including Rep. Jerry Nadler over concerns that it could curb free speech on campuses.

A bipartisan bill is gaining support in Congress to establish a national coordinator to combat antisemitism in the United States, aligning with President Biden's strategy announced last year to address antisemitism.
