Legislative Advocacy Through local, regional, and national advocacy with Members of Congress, AJC promotes domestic policies and legislation that support our global agenda.

Communications Through a global media presence, AJC generates awareness and provides expert resources to promote our advocacy agenda.

J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans to promote US policies that align with Jewish and democratic values, that help secure the State of Israel as a just, democratic homeland for the Jewish people, and that advance freedom, safety and self-determination for the Palestinian people. J Street focuses its work in three main areas: advocating and demonstrating support for pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy policies in Congress, the media, and the Jewish community; endorsing and supporting federal candidates who share J Street's agenda; and educating the public and raising awareness of the need for a lasting peace that ensures security, dignity, and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians. Our Core Values Everything we do is grounded in three values that guide how we work and show up for our mission: Impactful — We act with intention and measure success by the progress we make and the change we help bring about. Adaptable — We treat every challenge as an invitation to think creatively and find a better path forward. Aligned — We are united by shared principles and an unwavering commitment to our mission.
