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. We believe that only a negotiated resolution agreed to by Israelis and Palestinians can meet the legitimate needs and national aspirations of both peoples.
Working in the American political system, in the Jewish community and with others with whom we share core values, we advocate for diplomacy-first American leadership and policies that advance justice, equality, peace, and democracy in Israel, in the wider region and in the United States as well.
