Annual Report
Find out how we organized with chutzpah in 2023-24!
Beth Gendler, Executive Director
“Especially in these moments when many Jews, Muslims and other members of marginalized communities feel less safe, we know that we must build stronger bridges in solidarity with other marginalized groups.
We know that when we are less safe, all of us are less safe. Our safety depends on solidarity.”
