Organization
J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans working for the future of Israel as the democratic homeland of the Jewish people. The organization believes that preserving Israel's Jewish and democratic character depends on achieving a two- state solution, resulting in a Palestinian state living alongside Israel in peace and security.
Launched in 2008 with four staff and a limited budget, J Street is now a $8 million organization with a national staff of 60. J Street has an expansive network of supporters engaged in pro-Israel, pro-peace activism in their communities, promoting active US leadership to achieve a two-state solution.
J Street focuses its work on three main areas: (1) Lobbying and advocating for Middle East policy changes in Congress, the media, and the Jewish community; (2) Endorsing and raising money for federal candidates who share J Street's agenda; and (3) Educating the public and raising awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the two-state solution.
The J Street family of organizations is comprised of J Street, JStreetPAC, and the J Street Education Fund. J Street is a 501(c)(4) organization and registered lobby that seeks to complement the work of existing organizations and individuals that share J Street's agenda through lobbying and advocacy efforts. JStreetPAC is the largest pro-Israel, pro-peace Political Action Committee in the US and the first PAC formed to endorse and raise money for federal candidates who champion pro- Israel, pro-peace policies, including a two-state solution. In 2014, JStreetPAC distributed a record high of $2.4 million to 95 endorsed candidates, which led to 79 electoral victories.
The J Street Education Fund (JSEF), a legally independent 501(c)(3) organization that works to open up the conversation on Israel in the American Jewish community, educate Americans and elected officials about the urgent need for a two-state solution, and organize Americans in support of active US leadership to achieve this objective. JSEF's operations include its national Field, J Street U, Rabbinic and educational programs.
