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. jewishpublicaffairs.org/press-release/…
Matt Nosanchuk, former @EDcivilrights official, testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee that antisemitism is real, but gutting civil rights protections and targeting students’ rights won’t make Jewish students safer—it only fuels discrimination and division.
Protecting the rights and safety of all communities and advancing inclusive democracy isn’t just important because of our Jewish values. It's also existential to our own safety as Jews.
A new detention site in the Florida Everglades is holding immigrants in sweltering, unsanitary, inhumane conditions. The Jewish community knows the dangers of dehumanization. This isn’t safety—it’s a moral failure.
An administration that was serious about fighting antisemitism would not gut the Education Department and dismantle the Office for Civil Rights. These actions endanger Jewish - and all - students and weaken the very tools designed to protect against discrimination. @RepBonamici
Zach Schwartz, Director of the JCRC of Southern Maine, at our JCPA Summit: "Let’s continue to be Jewish—not let antisemitism cow us into hiding. What makes us Jewish is celebrating our identity, our values, and our community."
The SAVE Act makes voter registration harder for millions—fueling misinformation and extremism while undermining our democracy. On the #JohnLewisDayOfAction, demand better. 📢 Tell Congress: Oppose the SAVE Act. act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/oppose-save-… #GoodTroubleLivesOn
The Jewish community knows our safety depends on the rights of all. On the #JohnLewisDayOfAction, urge Congress to pass the #JohnLewisVRAA and protect our freedom to vote. 📢 Take action: act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/urge-members… #GoodTroubleLivesOn
We are horrified by the murder of Sayfollah Musallet—an American citizen—and broader rising violence by Israeli extremists in the West Bank. Anyone who cares about peace has a responsibility to unequivocally condemn extremist violence wherever it occurs. cnn.com/2025/07/12/mid…
