National Council of Jewish Women

The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.

At a time of increasing health, wealth, and education disparities, funding for the social safety net, public education, and health care for our nation’s most vulnerable is at risk while lawmakers, instead prioritize tax breaks for the wealthiest. Rising anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and racism are creating a climate of fear in our communities and informing hurtful policies affecting the rich tapestry of people and faiths that make up our great nation.
