Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota shot in their separate homes Governor Tim Walz was briefed on ‘ongoing situation’ in which Minneapolis-area state senator and representative were attacked

Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and state Representative Melissa Hortman were shot at their homes in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.

This senseless act of violence not only threatens the lives of those involved but undermines the very foundation of our democracy.

National Council of Jewish Women joined @thejcpa.bsky.social, @the-rac.bsky.social, and a broad coalition of organizations representing mainstream American Jewry to make clear that our community’s real concerns about antisemitism should not be used to undermine democratic norms and institutions.

President Trump Is Not a King: Congress Must Stop His Attack on Education - National Council of Jewish Women National Council of Jewish Women Says President Trump Is Not a King: Congress Must Stop His Attack on Education

Read our statement: www.ncjw.org/news/nationa...

BREAKING: President Trump just issued an executive order to close the Department of Education. The American people elected Donald Trump as president, not king. He does not have the power to unilaterally dismantle the Department of Education — that authority belongs to Congress alone.

Firing half the staff at the Department of Education and decimating the Office for Civil Rights harms the students who need protection the most: low-income children, LGBTQ+ students, children with disabilities, and minority students.

The House just passed a funding plan that slashes vital programs for women, children, and families — while adding $10B to expand immigrant detention, including for families. This is a moral failure.

The Senate must reject this harmful bill and push for a bipartisan deal that supports all families.

Purim is coming! NCJW MN is leading like Esther, we are women showing leadership in the face of risk and uncertainty for those who are vulnerable. This Purim please consider giving generously to NCJW MN to help families we support and the causes we pursue.

Happy International Women's Day! Now more than ever, we are so thankful for YOU, who continue the important work of protecting and amplifying the voices of our most vulnerable. Here is to celebrating YOU and the incredible women in your lives.

VICTORY! Last week, our volunteers rallied at the Colorado State Capitol, calling on lawmakers to reject a bill that would have repealed the state’s firearm dealer licensing law, passed just last year to help prevent firearm trafficking and ensure Colorado gun dealers behave responsibly.

It worked.

ICYMI: This is happening next week! Join us and register now: www.ncjw.org/events/women...

Jewish history and values compel us to welcome those fleeing persecution & violence or seeking a better life. Our leaders should share this goal: protect & uplift the most vulnerable among us, instead of demonizing immigrants & inflicting harm on entire communities. #JointAddress
