NY Congressmembers push for more funding to protect houses of worship and nonprofits from terror attacks
Briefly

In New York City, bipartisan Congressional members, including Senators Gillibrand and Schumer, and Representatives Nadler and Goldman, advocated for increased funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). This program, crucial for nonprofit organizations facing heightened risks of antisemitic attacks, supports security measures and preparedness training. Amidst a rise in hate crimes, including recent violent incidents, lawmakers have proposed $500 million for NSGP to bolster safety in houses of worship and community spaces.
