The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is the national convener of Jewish coalitions working to build a just and inclusive American democracy. For 80 years, JCPA has brought together national and local organizations and built bridges across communities to address the most pressing issues of the day and set strategies for advocacy and mobilization.
 
JCPA recently announced its new strategic focus, building on its long legacy of convening the Jewish community to work toward a just and inclusive society — recognizing that Jewish safety is inextricably linked with the safety of other communities and a strong, multiracial, multifaith democracy.
