Learn About the Issues

NCJW’s advocacy program integrates education with social action. Powered by the Jewish imperative to ensure dignity for all, we impact policy, advocate for justice and support the community. We champion issues important to us and our community.

NCJW confronts today’s most urgent social and economic challenges facing women, children and families. Your voice has never been more essential and our voices together make a meaningful difference in the world. Here’s an update on the State Legislative in Review for 2024 so far.

Our current priorities are:

• Promote the Vote/Protect The Vote
• Reproductive Health Rights and Justice
• A Fair and Independent Judiciary
• Gun Violence Prevention
• Immigrant and Refugee Rights
• Gender-Based and Sexual Violence

NCJW’s advocacy positions are based on NCJW’s resolutions, including principles, which are revised and approved by the voting delegates to the national convention every three years. The resolutions authorize action and provide direction for participation in local, state and national affairs.  Visit NCJW.ORG for more information.

As legislation arises which often requires immediate action, we use “calls to action” to alert our members to email and make phone calls to the appropriate officials. If you would like to make your voice heard in government, click here to join our local advocacy network.
