Stand With Israel & Reduce The Terrorist Threat
The Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act of 2021 (H.R. 261)
Terrorist organizations like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have steadily increased their capacity to attack Israeli population centers for more than two decades, hindering the possibilities for peace in the region. A sharp increase in the intensity and volume of attacks beginning in May 2021 has underscored the necessity of closing off any and all avenues for terrorist organizations to acquire the funding, weaponry and training to attack civilians. Help protect the people of Israel and urge your legislators to support new US sanctions against terrorist organizations and their supporters.

Access to Infertility Treatment Act (H.R. 2803/S.1461) to require insurance coverage for infertility screening and treatment for those receiving coverage through their employer, insurance marketplace, Department of Defense or Veterans Affairs, and Medicaid.
Hadassah spoke to congressional offices about expanding infertility awareness and education for policymakers.
Champion Bipartisan Action on Infertility (H.Res. 338)
Recognizing that infertility is a widespread problem that affects populations of diverse ages, races, ethnicities, and genders. Reproductive and infertility issues are all too common, but sadly, many American women and men continue to suffer in silence. Its time to re-think our approach to infertility - and for Members of Congress to have a better understanding of what this disease is and how it is caused, which communities are at an increased risk, and what should be done to reduce barriers to diagnoses and treatment. Urge your legislator to support actions that will expand Congressional support for better policies addressing infertility treatments and diagnoses. While some states have made steps towards expanding access to infertility treatment, solutions are needed at the federal level.
Advocate for Womens Lung Cancer Prevention and Research (H.R. 1800 | S. 699)
Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, claiming more lives than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined - even as the number of smokers declines year after year. Urge Congress to support the bipartisan Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act to improve scientific understanding and support early detection to save lives. The bipartisan Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act (H.R. 1800 | S. 699) would mandate an assessment of current research and prospects for interagency collaboration, recommendations for a national cancer screening strategy to expand access to early detection services, and opportunities for a national public awareness and education campaign.
The Women Veterans and Families Health Services Act of 2019 (S. 319. The Women Veterans and Families Health Services Act would improve the reproductive assistance provided by the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to severely wounded, ill, or injured members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their spouses or partners, and for other purposes. This would build upon the upcoming study of infertility in the armed forces, which was authorized by Congress last year.

Speak Up To Protect Children From Classrooms Teaching Hatred & Antisemitism
Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act (H.R.2374)
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children are taught in schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA. Unfortunately, researchers have determined that despite promises to the contrary that students in UNRWA schools are learning from a curricula approved by the Palestinian Authority which encourages violence, rejects peace, and demonizes both Israel and the Jewish people. Keep up the fight against antisemitism! Urge Congress to use its voice to spark reforms that will protect children from classrooms that teach hatred and promote peace and tolerance.
