The story we tell at the #Passover table — the story of liberation, of solidarity, of moral courage in the face of oppression — reminds us that our safety and freedom have always been bound to the safety and freedom of others. Wishing you and yours a Chag Pesach Sameach!

This Executive Order is an illegal attempt to keep people from exercising their right to vote, and will further disenfranchise millions. Our Constitution is clear that states run their elections, and Americans trust state and local leaders to run them.

The administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is bigoted, divisive, and unconstitutional. The Supreme Court must reject these conspiracy theories, just as it has for over a century. Read our full statement:

Our democracy only works when it stands in defense of our most vulnerable neighbors. This Supreme Court ruling places LGBTQ+ children across the nation at risk — subjecting them to harmful, discredited practices rather than affirming their basic dignity.

On #TransDayOfVisibility, we celebrate the strength and resilience of trans and nonbinary people — and recommit to a world where everyone can live safely and openly. Visibility must be paired with action. Take action: act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/protect-tr...

Passover is this week! As we prepare to retell our story of freedom, many are also navigating rising antisemitism, division, and fear. JCPA’s new Haggadah insert — Maror: Tasting the Bitterness Without Becoming It — invites reflection rooted in dignity and pluralism. Download:

WATCH: Hate fuels attacks on our democracy — and as democracy is undermined, hate and extremism only grow. We break this cycle by building broad coalitions — like the Demand Diversity Roundtable — to fight for our rights and our safety.

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions, fueling disinformation and extremism at the expense of the rights of millions of Americans. Voter fraud is rare, but voter suppression is real. Don’t let Congress silence your voice.

New reporting underscores the rise of Christian nationalism in our military. A government steered by religion cannot serve all of us — threatening the rights and freedoms of millions of Americans and the core of our democracy. @thebulwark.com @julieingersoll.bsky.social

We spoke with the @apnews.com on what Jewish communities are navigating right now: a surge in antisemitic threats alongside deep, often painful debates over Israel. We can hold complexity — but violence and blame targeting Jews is never acceptable. Read: apnews.com/article/us-j...

LISTEN: JCPA CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social joined the Rev. Malcolm J. Byrd on @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social’s Word on the Street Podcast for a conversation on the history of Black-Jewish partnership and what it means to build solidarity today. 🎧: jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/live-from-...

JCPA CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social in @timesofisrael.com: Antisemitism and extremism thrive on “false binaries” — the idea that people must choose between identities or values. Rejecting that thinking creates space for nuance, complexity, & truth. Read more: www.timesofisrael.com/many-america...

We remember the 146 workers lost in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire - and remember, it's only by working together through democratic institutions like labor unions that we have been able to prevent more tragedies like this.

NEW: Our Demand Diversity Roundtable, convened by @naturbanleague.bsky.social, launched “America 250: A Guide to Defending Democracy” — a guide to holding our leaders accountable to protecting democracy. Explore: nul.org/america-250-...

JCPA is proud to partner with @mazonusa.bsky.social for a national call-in day to protect SNAP & our food safety net. Everyone deserves access to food — and we all have a role to play. Join us in calling the USDA on Thursday 3/26 from 9am to 5pm ET. 🔗 mazon.org/callsagainsthunger.

DHS doesn’t just need new leadership — it needs a new direction. DHS requires true accountability and transparency, and Congress has an obligation to hold DHS to account — starting by separating vital security funding from ICE & CBP. Act today: act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/dhs-fundin...

Our communities' security shouldn’t be made contingent on unaccountable immigration enforcement. Congress must separate key programs from ICE funding -- so vital needs like the Nonprofit Security Grant Program can move forward now. Take action: act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/dhs-fundin...

JCPA wishes our Muslim friends a joyous Eid al-Fitr. May this holiday bring peace, happiness, and unity to all who celebrate. Eid Mubarak!

More people have died in ICE custody since October than all of the last fiscal year. That is shameful. Americans deserve a moral immigration policy rooted in our shared values — not one that prioritizes cruelty. ICE needs real accountability to ensure this never happens again.

On @ms.now with Chris Jansing, our CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social talked about the exhaustion Jewish communities are feeling under constant threat. “No community should have to worry that they're sending their preschooler to school and they might be the victim of a hate crime."

The Jewish community shouldn't cower in moments like this. As @amyspitalnick.bsky.social told ABC News Live: "The goal of extremism is to prevent us from living our lives... We need to be able to live, pray, & work freely as Jews just like every other community." 📺: abcnews.com/video/131049...

"We shouldn't have to be spending money to make sure that we can simply live and pray and exist as Jews — no community should." As our CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social said on @ms.now with Chris Jansing, we need a whole-of-society approach to confront rising antisemitism & protect our communities.

Our CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social on @cnnipr.bsky.social with @biannagolodryga.bsky.social: “Your Jewish friends and neighbors are tired.” Yesterday in Michigan, we were close to 140 preschoolers being the victims of a synagogue attack. Jewish communities deserve to have that fear taken seriously.

Our response to the news from Temple Israel in Michigan:

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions, fueling disinformation & extremism at the expense of the rights of millions of Americans. Don’t let Congress silence your voice. Urge Your Senators to Stand Against Attacks on our Elections: act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/oppose-sav...

More than 1,100 American Jewish clergy are speaking out in support of refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants. JCPA is proud to amplify this effort — including our own Rabba Rori Picker Neiss in this video — rooted in the Jewish value of welcoming the stranger.

As threats to our communities & our democracy grow, JCPA’s work is more urgent than ever. From fighting mass deportations & rising hate to protecting civil rights, we’re mobilizing the Jewish community in defense of our values & safety. Support our mission: act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/donate-2025

Congress is considering new funding for ICE & CBP — even as militarized enforcement puts lives at risk and undermines civil rights. Tell Congress: No new ICE funding without justice & accountability. act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/stop-the-f...

We should ask why these members of Congress - Ogles, Randy Fine, and others - are so emboldened to promote the most vile, blatant Islamophobia. We all have an obligation to name this for what it is.

Rep. Andy Ogles tweeted that “Muslims don’t belong in American society.” When members of Congress feel emboldened to engage in blatant Islamophobia and hate, it must be called out. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in our politics, our country, or our society.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor generations of Jewish women who helped build a more inclusive American democracy. From the labor movement to the courts, Congress, and today’s fight against extremism, their leadership shaped the democratic values we defend.

Our statement on Kristi Noem’s departure from the Department of Homeland Security:

JCPA wishes our Hindu friends and neighbors a Holi filled with love, laughter, and colors as vibrant as your spirits. May this festival bring joy, prosperity, and endless celebrations! 🌸 🎨

Reports indicate the Austin shooter posted antisemitic, misogynistic, and anti-Christian rhetoric online — another reminder of how hate and extremist conspiracies can fuel real-world violence.

Military leaders telling our troops that war with Iran is about the “imminent return of Jesus Christ” is a blatant violation of the separation of church & state — advancing division, violence, & extreme Christian nationalism that only erode our democracy. newrepublic.com/post/207270/...

We wish you a joyous & meaningful Purim — a holiday that reminds us that each of us is capable of standing up for Jewish values & safety, just like Queen Esther. This Purim, we pray to see a day when all people can live free from violence, tyranny, & fear. Chag Purim Sameach.

🎙️Fresh off the stage! Our CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social joined Rabbi David Saperstein, @maya4rights.bsky.social, & Rev. Malcolm Byrd at @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social's convention for a conversation on Jewish-Black solidarity & how our communities can work together to protect our safety & democracy.

May our leaders have the wisdom and strength necessary to advance a world in which Israelis, Iranians, Palestinians, and all people across the region can live free from violence, tyranny, and fear.

At a recent San Francisco political event, chants of “tax the rich” turned into “tax the Jews.” As our CEO said: “What does antisemitism look like? This.” Hate & extremism masquerading as progressive politics undermines justice, safety, & democracy. www.jta.org/2026/02/26/u...

In his State of the Union, Pres. Trump claimed that “importing [immigrant] cultures” threatens America — again echoing the xenophobic, racist, antisemitic Great Replacement lie that has fueled deadly violence in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, El Paso, and Charlottesville.

Just before our first-ever West Coast Summit, our CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social spoke with @jewishsf.bsky.social about the hard work of coalition-building, how Jewish safety is inseparable from our democracy, & why we need to be engaged all over the country. Read the interview:

At the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social warned that antisemitism’s conspiratorial nature makes it a wedge across the ideological spectrum. These same conspiracies harm many communities — making the fight against antisemitism vital to the broader fight against all hate.

We’re stuck in a dangerous feedback loop: Antisemitism is a conspiracy theory that undermines democracy. And as democratic norms erode, they create the conditions for antisemitism to flourish.

Tomorrow would have been Rep. John Lewis’ 86th birthday — a fearless champion for justice and voting rights. As voter suppression efforts expand, his legacy calls us to act. Honor his life: urge Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act act.jewishpublicaffairs.org/a/urge-membe...

This week, we convened Jewish community relations leaders from across the west for our inaugural West Coast Summit. We're leaving inspired and recommitted to the crucial work of coalition-building at this critical moment for the Jewish community and our democracy.

Testifying today at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, JCPA CEO @amyspitalnick.bsky.social made clear: undermining civil rights and democratic norms makes Jews — and all communities — less safe. We need real action to counter antisemitism and protect our inclusive democracy.

On this day in 1942, EO 9066 ordered the internment of Japanese Americans. When leaders justify mass detention or target communities in the name of “security,” we should recognize the pattern. Normalizing extremism undermines democracy. We must choose a different path.

Randy Fine’s vile bigotry has no place in our government. His colleagues should have the basic decency to hold him accountable.

Today we mark the yahrzeit of Arnold Aronson, founding executive leader of JCPA and a founder of @civilrightsorg.bsky.social. A lifelong civil rights champion, he believed Jewish safety is inseparable from justice for all. May his memory be a blessing.

With the rest of the civil rights community, JCPA mourns the passing of the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Read our full statement.
