J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy 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. J Street believes 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 it shares core values, J Street advocates 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. J Street focuses its work in three main areas: 1) advocating and demonstrating support for pro-Israel, pro-peace policies in Congress, the media, and the Jewish community; 2) endorsing and raising money for federal candidates who share J Street’s agenda; and 3) educating the public and raising awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the two-state solution.

At Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, formerly Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, we partner with our grantees in the United States and Israel to pursue more just and inclusive societies. In the U.S., we aim to advance racial, gender and economic equity through investments in criminal justice, democracy and voting rights, K-12 public education, gender and reproductive equity and the family’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. We also invest in fostering a more joyful and diverse Jewish community. In Israel, we work toward a secure homeland for the Jewish people, a thriving democracy and an inclusive society that cares for its most vulnerable. Charles and Lynn Schusterman established the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation in 1987 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 2021, we updated our name to Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies to reflect the full range of the Schusterman family’s philanthropic and advocacy work. Under the leadership of Stacy Schusterman, we invest in leaders, organizations and U.S. public policy to drive long-term systemic change. Our team works with grantees, experts, civic institutions and governments to create pathways to greater equity and inclusion. Our work is inspired by our founders’ commitment to pursue justice, repair the world and ensure all people are treated with dignity and respect. Our team members bring a wide range of professional expertise, cultural backgrounds, lived experiences and perspectives to our work.
