Over fifty years ago, JPAC – Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California was formed to advocate towards our state government on behalf of the Jewish community’s issues and broadly shared values. Now the largest single-state coalition of Jewish organizations in the nation, JPAC uses our community’s collective strength and reach to help build the world we want to live in – for ourselves and for all vulnerable people across California. [Insert your organization’s name here] is proud to be member of this coalition.

In recent years, JPAC’s influence has been realized in unprecedented ways. In the last three years, we have successfully advocated for over $250 million dollars from the state budget for a wide range of community projects, including enhancing community security initiatives, rebuilding Jewish summer camps destroyed in wildfires, expanding our Holocaust education institutions, and securing vital resources for seniors, immigrants, and people experiencing food insecurity.

We help pass crucial legislation to create and expand health, anti-poverty, and hate crime initiatives, and to support immigrants, children, and older adults. And we lead the advocacy efforts to ensure antisemitic and anti-Zionist content doesn’t appear in our ethnic studies curricula.

You can help continue to grow our impact by joining us at this year’s JPAC Capitol Summit, May 14-15, 2024 in Sacramento.
