HARRISBURG, March 21 – State. Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Allegheny, and Sen. Judy Schwank, D-Berks, announced Tuesday the formation of Pennsylvania’s first ever Jewish Legislative Caucus. “Representing the community that suffered the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history, I have seen that protecting the needs of vulnerable groups can’t be incidental – we need to create spaces where we can make them the focus,” said Frankel, whose district includes the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, the heart of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community and the site of the 2018 attack on three congregations in the Tree of Life building. Schwank added, “It's important to have a caucus that is vocal and stands against hatred and hate-based violence, not just against Jewish Pennsylvanians, but Pennsylvanians of all faiths. I'm looking forward to taking an active role with this caucus, working with my fellow members and connecting with Jewish communities throughout the commonwealth."

This includes: Speaking out against antisemitism and other forms of intolerance and standing for a Commonwealth that is welcoming to all. Working to protect the civil rights of all Pennsylvanians.
