Make Your Voice Heard: Massachusetts Hearing on Combating Antisemitism

On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the Massachusetts Legislature’s Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism will hold a public hearing at the State House. This is a critical opportunity for Israeli-Americans, pro-Israel, and Jewish families to share their stories, experiences, and concerns directly with lawmakers.

To participate, you must complete the Commission’s official registration form. Because the form is managed by the state, ICAN will not receive your information directly. That’s why we ask you to also confirm your participation with ICAN. By doing so, we can:

  • Track how many people are speaking

  • Provide coaching and support to help you prepare effective remarks

  • Send reminders so you don’t miss your speaking slot

  • Ensure our community’s voice is strongly represented

Both steps are required:

  1. Register with the Commission (official state form)

  2. Confirm with ICAN

Together, we will make sure lawmakers hear our voices and take action against antisemitism in Massachusetts schools and communities.
