Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) Director of Public Policy Eliana Goodman issued the following statement on Tuesday:
“The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) commends New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu for signing SB508 into law, which incorporates the use of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism and its 11 accompanying examples into state-wide legislation. We thank Senator Becky Whitley, Senator David Watters, Senator Rebecca Perkins Kwoka and others for supporting this bill to safeguard the Jewish community in New Hampshire and reinforce the state’s commitment to combating antisemitism in all its forms. New Hampshire joins a growing number of states to take legislative action against the surge in antisemitic hatred targeting Jewish Americans and is among the super majority of U.S. states to have embraced the IHRA’s working definition of antisemitism.”
A total of 37 U.S. states have adopted or endorsed the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.
