Albany, NY – Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D,WF-Fresh Meadows) partnered with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to host a briefing for legislators outlining the recent increases of anti-Semitic incidents across the country.

In response to the release of the ADL’s recent audit identifying a 57% rise in anti-Semitism nationally and a 90% increase in New York State, Rozic has authored legislation to create hate crimes recognition and response training for all law enforcement agencies. Dozens of legislators attended the briefing led by ADL Senior Associate Regional Director Melanie Robbins and joined the discussion on how to best respond to the concerning data.
