Board members of the Anti-Defamation League’s Mountain States Region took advantage of a seven-week summer recess by Congress to meet with members of Colorado’s congressional delegation on several critical issues.

 

ADL Mountain States Board members met with Senator Michael Bennet, Congressman Mike Coffman, Congressman Ed Perlmutter and Congressman Jared Polis. Board members also met with local and regional staff members for Senator Cory Gardner, Congresswoman Diana DeGette and Congressman Scott Tipton.

 

The meetings focused on protecting voting rights, preserving anti-discrimination laws, assisting refugees escaping violence and terrorism, combating global anti-Semitism, helping Holocaust survivors and their families recover wrongly confiscated property and containing threats posed by Iran.
