That's why I'm leading the Showing up for Students act, which would double the funding for the Office of Civil Rights to investigate incidents of harassment and discrimination, including antisemitism, on college campuses nationwide. In the months following the terrorist group Hamas attack on Israel, the Office for Civil Rights has seen more than 1,000, a more than 1,300% increase in complaints related to discrimination and harassment based upon shared ancestry, including acts of anti Semitism at schools across the United States. This is a staggering increase in incidents and shows no sign of abating. We must meet the moment and ensure that students can learn free from antisemitism, free from discrimination and all, all forms of hate. (05:49–06:11)
