MEMBERS

OUR IMPACT

2025 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 passed AB 715, a first-in-the-nation law that establishes critical policy changes to protect Jewish students from bullying, harassment, and discrimination in K-12 schools.

Securing the Community

We secured $94.5 million in state funding for nonprofit security grants, vital services for Holocaust survivors, and support for other vulnerable Californians.

Legislative Wins

Governor Newsom signed 13 Jewish California-backed bills into law this year, addressing hate-crime prevention, expanding access to health care, and supporting educator well-being.
