ORGANIZATION:


J Street is the political home for pro-­Israel, pro­-peace Americans who want Israel to be secure, democratic and the national home of the Jewish people. Working in American politics and the Jewish community, we advocate policies that advance shared US and Israeli interests, as well as Jewish and democratic values, leading to a two-­state solution to the Israeli-­Palestinian conflict.

As Americans, we advocate in Washington and in national politics for American policy that advances diplomatic resolution of Israel's conflicts with its neighbors. American policy plays an important role in the Middle East, and the voices of Jewish and other pro­-Israel Americans are critical in shaping that policy. Through its advocacy and political work, J Street mobilizes support for American policy that helps resolve Israel's conflicts diplomatically and reshapes political perceptions of what it means to be pro-­Israel.

Within the American Jewish community, we advocate that our institutions and leaders ground our relationship with Israel in the same values they apply to other issues, including freedom, justice and peace – the very principles set forth in Israel's Declaration of Independence. We urge Jewish communal officials and institutions to demonstrate leadership by speaking out in support of policies that align with our interests and values and against those that don't. We also promote vibrant and respectful discourse about Israel within the Jewish community, expanding American connections to and support for Israel.

Launched in 2008 with four staff and a limited budget, J Street is now a $7 million organization with a national staff of 70. The organization is headquartered in Washington, DC, employing staff in 7 US cities and Tel Aviv. The J Street family of organizations includes J Street – a 501(c)(4) non­profit which is responsible for lobbying and advocacy; JStreetPAC – a federal political action committee that endorses and raises money for federal candidates; and the J Street Education Fund – a 501(c)(3) that works through community engagement, education and programming to advance J Street's work.


J Street is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
