OUR COALITION

MEMBERS

OUR IMPACT

2026 marked a transformative moment for Jewish advocacy in California. Together, we achieved landmark successes in the fight against antisemitism and in advancing the values of dignity for all (kavod habriyut), justice (tzedek), and repairing the world (tikkun olam).

Counter School Antisemitism

We successfully defended AB 715 – a first-in-the-nation law we passed last year that protects Jewish students from antisemitism in K-12 schools – against attempts to gut it.

Securing the Community

We secured $145.25 million in state funding for nonprofit security grants, vital services for Holocaust survivors, and support for seniors, refugees, and human trafficking victims.

Legislative Wins

The Legislature passed 6 Jewish California-sponsored bills and another 13 bills we're supporting, addressing hate-crime prevention, protecting hunger and health care benefits, and supporting student well-being.
