Advocate

Amplify our voices to ensure that the needs and perspectives are effectively communicated and understood locally and on a global scale.

The historic partnership between Federation and JCRC—and substantial funding from our annual campaign—ensures that our Jewish community fosters relationships with local and elected officials, and other faith and ethnic communities—and that we remain strongly integrated into the fabric and civic leadership of this region. JCRC staff work to educate, to advocate, and to unify. Their website lists more resources, guidance, and provides a schedule of upcoming events.

Take Action Campaigns

  • Sign up for JCRC Bay Area’s Action Alerts, the local advocate for Jews to be able to live their own authentic Jewish lives. 
  • JFNA’s Jewish Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) team has also created an Action Alert for those who identify as Jews of Color to make their voices heard. 
  • SFBay4Israel has posted a War on Israel Community Hub with resources for advocacy, community support, events, and giving opportunities.
