Provide Fully Funded Armed Security for Jewish Public Buildings

Closed 188 signatures

What the petition asks

We call upon His Majesty’s Government to urgently provide funding for armed security (police or military presence) at Jewish public buildings – including schools, synagogues, and community centres.
We are calling for this due to the rise in antisemitism in the UK and a recent terrorist attack in Manchester during Yom Kippur. Jewish schools, synagogues, and community centres face real threats, and we believe it is the state’s duty to provide permanent, funded armed security so that Jewish children and families can live, learn, and worship without fear.
