SCN Statement On Targeted Terror Attack In Boulder

It’s time to realize America is being threatened by Hamas supporters operating inside our country. Their goal is to kill Jews, just as was done on October 7th in Israel, but it likely won’t stop with Jews. Americans, from the President, every member of Congress, and elected officials everywhere, to all our citizens, must do more to fight this threat. If Nazi sympathizers carried out two successful attacks inside our country, all of us would be rightfully incensed and demand stronger actions. Two attacks is enough. What makes anyone think there won’t be a third attack, including one on non-Jews? An attack on the Jewish community is an attack on religious freedom and our democracy. It’s time for more action.

"We work with them day in and day out, really 24/7. They give us a different flow of information that we might not otherwise have."
Paul Abbate Deputy Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
“When I have an issue…I go straight to [SCN]. SCN has established itself in this position because of its professionalism, credibility, and capability. This is not one-way: we are not only providing them information, they are providing us with information.”
Alejandro Mayorkas Seventh Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
"First of all, we escaped. We weren’t released or freed. We escaped because we had training from the Secure Community Network on what to do in the event of an active shooter. This training saved our lives – I am not speaking in hyperbole here – it saved our lives."
"That training is what saved my life."
"I was taught about what to do in an active shooter situation at the 105th AEPi convention. I am so thankful that I had gone through that seminar because it had taught me that the worst thing I can do in any situation is panic or hesitate because if I did, there was a very likely chance that I wouldn't have survived."
Lex De La Herran Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting Survivor
“Thank you for all of the training you’ve invested in me — My sister and I were shopping at the Allen Premium Malls two stores away when the shooter began murdering people outside the H&M. I deployed every applicable skill that l remembered you teaching. It made a huge difference having a plan and feeling empowered to save my own life.”
Liz Vogel CEO, Jewish Family Service of Cincinnati
