Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I live in [TOWN/CITY] in your district. I am calling to urge you to oppose A3558/S1292, which seeks to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, and to vote NO if this legislation goes to a vote.

The IHRA definition has been used in New Jersey to silence Palestinian advocacy, including student walkouts and peaceful protest. New Jersey already has strong laws against discrimination, but this specific definition maliciously equates advocacy for Palestinian human rights with anti-semtitism. We don’t need legislation that selectively shields political speech about Israel. IHRA has no place in state law.

Pushing this bill during the lame duck session sends a clear message, the state legislature is willing to protect a foreign government before its own citizen’s fundamental rights.

I ask you to stop this harmful bill and stand for free speech and true community safety. Thank you.
