Organization Overview About JCPA:
Since its founding 80 years ago, JCPA has served as the national convener of Jewish coalitions

Today, JCPA is mobilizing the robust community relations network and its partners in pursuit of a
more just and democratic society for all, rooted in an abiding belief that Jewish security here and

building bridges across lines of difference and fostering solidarity between communities can we
advance an inclusive future in which Jews – and all people – are safe and free.
