Take Action Now
The Trump administration is targeting student activists for deportation simply for exercising their First Amendment right to support Palestinian human rights and protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza. DHS agents have abducted students and taken them to ICE detention centers without notifying their families or legal counsel. These assaults on free speech demand urgent public outrage and immediate action to secure the students’ release and protect all students from political repression.
Reject local media and Jewish Federation of Portland claims that criticizing Israel and standing up for Palestinian liberation are antisemitic. Jewish values demand a permanent ceasefire and an end to the illegal occupation and siege. Learn more about our #NotInOurName campaign to change the narrative in Portland.
The Biggest Student Anti-War Movement Since Vietnam
In a matter of days, dozens of Gaza solidarity encampments have sprung up on over a hundred university campuses across the U.S. It’s the biggest student movement since the anti-war protests that swept U.S. universities in the 1960s.
We have a plan to end US support for Israel’s opression of Palestinians.
Jewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world. We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with Palestinian freedom struggle.
If you’ve been looking for a political home for Jews on the left in this perilous moment; if you’ve been wanting a Jewish community with justice at the center; if you’ve been looking to turn your rage and grief into meaningful, strategic action: Join us. You belong here.
Who We Are
We envision a world where all people — from the U.S. to Palestine — live in freedom, justice, equality, and dignity.
Like generations of Jewish leftists before us, we fight for the liberation of all people. We believe that through organizing, we can and will dismantle the institutions and structures that sustain injustice and grow something new, joyful, beautiful, and life-sustaining in their place.
Jewish Community Centered on Justice
We have millennia of Jewish history where our traditions and our communities were not bound up with support for an apartheid government. We have liturgy, poetry, rabbinic debate, jokes, theater, dance, film, and song. Organizing rich in ritual, culture, and art connects us to those histories, and strengthens us in fighting for a future where our people – and all people – live with freedom, dignity, joy, and belonging.
