The AJC webinar focused on Assembly Bill 715, a California law aimed at protecting students from discrimination and creating more inclusive learning environments. Assemblymember Rick Zurr, Assemblymember Don Addis, Frederick Levin, and Gail Horowitz discussed the bill's significance, legal implications, and resources available for parents and school administrators.

As a DC native who grew up confronting the deeply ingrained antisemitism in my independent school and witnessing the increase in antisemitic incidents after October 7, I knew antisemitism was raging through my city. I was immediately overwhelmed by two horrifying questions: How could this happen at an event I was so warmly invited to? And why am I not the slightest bit surprised that a hate-fueled murder claimed two young Jewish lives?
