We are proud of our partnership with the American Jewish Committee. Together we have organized several successful legislative conferences and events.
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) and JAINA have many common goals and objectives. AJC was established to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel, and to advance human rights and democratic values around the world. They accomplish this by embracing democratic values, respect for human rights, and peaceful conflict-resolution.
