Dear Members of the 119th Congress,

On behalf of the 225,000 advocates of National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), welcome to the 119th Congress.

Since our founding in 1893, National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) has boldly imagined a world where women, children, and families are fully valued and supported. We have consistently dedicated ourselves to the pursuit of equity and justice through a powerful combination of community organizing, education, direct service, and advocacy. We carry with us the tradition of safeguarding the individual rights of freedoms for women, children, and families. United by our Jewish values, we mobilize our network of 49 local sections and advocates in every state across the country to make this vision a reality at all levels of government and in communities across the United States.

NCJW’s advocates are from diverse backgrounds and share both a commitment to Jewish activism and a determination to improve their communities and country for all regardless of faith, ethnicity, race, or gender. They are driven by our key areas of work which include abortion justice, economic justice, and access to justice. 

We have included some information below about NCJW in this “welcome packet” that we hope will be helpful for you and your staff as you begin the 119th Congress.
