Jewish Council for Public Affairs

JCPA is the national convener of Jewish coalitions working to build a just and inclusive American democracy.

NEW: We’ve brought together a broad coalition of organizations representing mainstream American Jewry, condemning the exploitation of our community’s real concerns about antisemitism to undermine democratic norms and rights and our academic institutions. https://t.co/oDGaesyL4o

Teachers unions are becoming hotbeds for antisemitism. Major kudos to @amyspitalnick and @theJCPA for working with @NEAToday and the new Jewish Affairs Caucus to foster a safer, more inclusive environment. There is much work to do -- but this is a start.

[Amy Spitalnick @amyspitalnick]

Constructively working with teachers’ unions matters — especially when some leaders are exploiting real fears of antisemitism to try to destroy them.

We worked with @NEAToday and its Jewish Affairs Caucus on new convention rules, and it had real impact

Great to see this collaboration between @NEAToday, its Jewish Affairs Caucus, and @theJCPA.

Countering antisemitism takes sustained, constructive engagement. We're proud to have partnered with the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus & @NEAToday over the past year to help strengthen protections for Jewish — and all — members at this year's RA.

JCPA is on the ground at @NEAToday's Representative Assembly in Denver, where we just led a workshop on antisemitism and worked with NEA and the Jewish Affairs Caucus to announce new rules aimed at ensuring a safer, more inclusive convention for Jewish — & all — educators.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

Appreciate @ArnoRosenfeld and @jdforward for highlighting the work between @NEAToday, the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus, and JCPA ahead of this year's Representative Assembly.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

Over the past year, JCPA worked with the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus and @NEAToday to advance new policies to help protect both the safety and First Amendment rights of all members at this week's Representative Assembly.

This is why engagement matters.

As Pride Month comes to a close, we remain committed to the Jewish values of dignity, belonging, and justice.

Everyone deserves safety, freedom, and the ability to live as their full selves. That commitment doesn't end when Pride Month concludes. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today’s ruling strips transgender kids of the right to simply play on a team with their classmates. This is sadly part of a broader assault on the fundamental rights and dignity of the trans community.

JCPA welcomes SCOTUS’ decision to uphold birthright citizenship as the law of the land.

As this administration continues to target immigrants and refugees, we will keep fighting to ensure that every human life is treated with dignity.

Food carries stories across generations. Through his work as a culinary historian and writer, @KosherSoul has explored the intersections of Black, Jewish, and LGBTQ+ identities, helping us better understand the histories that shape our communities.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

Stonewall wasn't just a protest. It was a refusal to accept that some people deserve less dignity, less freedom, or less belonging than others.

57 years later, that struggle continues — and so does our commitment to true equality for LGBTQ+ people.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

@rabbisandra has challenged assumptions about who belongs in Jewish spaces and helped countless people see themselves reflected in Jewish life.
Her leadership reminds us that our communities are strongest when everyone can show up as their full selves.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

American Jews are not a monolith. Politcial leaders don't get to decide who is a "good" or "bad" Jew based on how we vote or what we believe -- which only divides our comunities and makes all of us less safe.

Today’s Supreme Court decisions further advance the administration’s dehumanizing and draconian immigration policies, putting countless families seeking safety and opportunity at risk.

We are heartbroken by the devastating earthquake in Venezuela. Our thoughts are with everyone affected, and we mourn the lives lost while hoping for the safe recovery of those still missing.

Today President Trump yet again attacked @SenSchumer - the highest ranking Jewish official in the US - as a “Palestinian.”

As we said last year (and so many other times), this is both antisemitic and racist.”

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

JCPA CEO @amyspitalnick in today's @nytimes makes clear that President Trump's comments calling @SenSchumer "not Jewish anymore" and using "Palestinian" as a slur against him are both racist & antisemitic -- reflecting a broader strategy to sow division between our communities.

[Jewish Council for Public Affairs @theJCPA]

Harvey Milk believed that visibility could be transformative. As a proud Jew and one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S., he helped pave the way for future generations to participate more fully in civic and public life.

The Jewish community needs federal action on security, civil rights, & online hate — & the Jewish American Security Act delivers.

We need your help to pass it. Join JCPA on June 24 w/@SenJackyRosen & @OrthodoxUnion @URJorg @RabbiAssembly @ReconJudaism:

On Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. and recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of confronting white supremacy and bigotry. We stand with Black communities — including Black Jews — and our civil rights partners in building a more just & inclusive future for all.
