I was proud to coauthor HB 1002 to support and protect Jewish students in Indiana. Without the reference to IHRA which was removed in the Senate - the bill is useless and ineffective. I urge the IGA to reinsert IHRA and combat antisemitism.

The Indiana General Assembly should support the Hoosier Jewish community and take HB 1002 back to the House-passed version. The Jewish community is counting on us.
