ATLANTA (June 3, 2025) — Today, Sen. Emanuel Jones (D–Decatur) issued the following statement in response to the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, which left eight individuals injured during a demonstration organized in support of Israeli hostages:
“I am heartbroken and outraged by the horrific attack in Boulder. This was not simply an act of violence; it was a deliberate act of terror meant to intimidate the Jewish community and anyone who believes in the right to gather and speak freely.
There is no place for hate-driven violence in our country. The pain inflicted on those demonstrators echoes far beyond Boulder and reminds us that when one community is targeted, we all have a responsibility to respond. In times like these, we must stand together and unite in our commitment to the dignity and safety of all people.
I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and all who reject hatred in every form. We must continue to confront antisemitism wherever it appears and work, as neighbors and as a nation, to build a society where hate has no home.”
