Your contribution will advance a new vision of American leadership, rooted in a commitment to democracy, peace and human rights.
Together, we’re pushing for meaningful action to combat the settlement movement, protect Palestinian rights and secure our shared vision of Israel as a just, democratic and peaceful homeland for the Jewish people.
J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans to promote US policies that embody our deeply held Jewish and democratic values and that help secure the State of Israel as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people.
