Governor Glenn Youngkin Issues Executive Directive to Combat Antisemitism and Anti-Religious Bigotry in the Commonwealth and on Campuses

Statement

"Hatred, intolerance, and antisemitism have no place in Virginia. As Governor, the safety and security of all Virginians is my paramount concern. Virginia is the birthplace of the freedom of religion in America, and protecting the community centers and houses of worship of the Jewish people is paramount. But this commitment extends to all religions, including those of the Muslim faith, who are increasingly concerned about backlash."
