We’re here at the #NCGA for the House Judiciary Committee Hearing. Today they’ll be hearing HB 942, the SHALOM Act. This bill does nothing to protect Jewish North Carolinians and instead erodes our fundamental right to free speech.
Speaker Moore, the sponsor of the bill, is introducing the SHALOM Act. He says there has been a rise in antisemitism in the name of criticizing Israel. He specifically called attention to students at UNC removing the US flag and putting up the Palestinian flag.
Moore is referencing the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which the SHALOM Act would write into law. The IHRA definition is explicitly not intended to be used for legal purposes.

This week, a troubling piece of legislation, HB 237, passed its 3rd reading. We are deeply concerned about the implications of this bill, which enhances punishment for crimes based on how a person is dressed. 🧵 Image
The provisions of the bill that ascribe intent to clothing are confusing and will unfairly result in disparate treatment under the law. Particularly given the inclusion of hoods in the legislation, HB 237 is likely to result in racially biased sentencing.
It's no secret that Black men and boys are disproportionately profiled for their choice of clothing. For example, a young Black man wearing a hoodie is far more likely to be viewed as having the intent to hide his identity than a white woman wearing the same thing.
