Action Center
As American Jews, by urging our government to take action in response to extreme hardship around the world and by increasing awareness in our own communities, we complement the work of AJWS's grantees and play a part in alleviating poverty, hunger and disease throughout the developing world.
The Jewish Petition for a Just Farm Bill
The U.S. is the largest donor of global food aid. But that generosity can have unintended—yet tragic—consequences for people in need around the world. Next year, when Congress debates the U.S. Farm Bill, we can reform food aid so that it helps turn back the tide of food insecurity. A better food aid system will save more lives. And we can make it happen.
Sudan Violence Threatens Renewed War
Recently, the Sudanese Armed Forces bombed, shelled and eventually invaded a disputed border region between the North and South. These events, which have caused massive civilian displacement and insecurity for humanitarian personnel, are also fomenting a political crisis that is ripe for escalation. Join us in calling on President Obama to be clear that there will be real consequences for continuing to jeopardize this fragile opportunity for peace.
