The AJWS community is united by a deep belief in the dignity of every person and the desire to pursue human rights and justice for all.
In partnership with Jewish leaders and other allies across the country, AJWS activists are holding our government accountable to prioritizing human rights in our foreign policy and diplomacy.
Through our We Believe campaign from 2013 to 2015, AJWS supporters successfully advocated for the appointment of the first ever U.S. Special Envoy for International LGBT Rights. And through our Reverse Hunger campaign from 2011 to 2014, we helped secure up to $400 million in additional U.S. international food aid to reach half a million more people with life sustaining food.
Our supporters are working together to advance AJWS’s mission, with core groups of activists in the New York Metro Area, Southern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
