Today, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman announced her cosponsorship of H.Res.130, a resolution condemning the rise of anti-Semitism in the European Union and encouraging greater cooperation in combating anti-Semitic trends:

"With the alarming uptick in anti-Semitic violence and rhetoric seen recently in Europe, it's critical that the U.S. use its position as a world leader to denounce such actions, and push every one of our allies to address these trends. This legislation is a part of that effort.

"I'm proud to join my colleagues in cosponsoring this resolution, and as a member of the Bipartisan Taskforce on Anti-Semitism I will continue to work to promote tolerance, universal liberties, and basic human rights around the world.
