SACRAMENTO, CA - Today, the California Legislative Jewish Caucus announced its priority legislation for the 2024 legislative session. These bills seek to protect Jewish students on campus, better educate young people about the Holocaust and modern forms of antisemitism, and address the rise in hate crimes. The Jewish Caucus is also working on a variety of other fronts to advance these objectives, including through implementation of key strategies set forth in the recently-released Golden State Plan to Counter Antisemitism.

SACRAMENTO, CA - Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino) and Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), Co-Chairs of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, released the following statement regarding the recent violence and failure of leadership at UCLA:

“We unequivocally condemn the abhorrent violence at UCLA last night. The violent actions of a few agitators does not represent our community and is antithetical to our Jewish values.”
