As Jews, we believe every person is created b’tzelem Elohim — in the image of God. That’s why we support the dignity & equal rights of LGBTQ people and communities. Pride is a celebration of that central truth: that every person deserves to live openly, safely, & with dignity.

As Congress holds another hearing targeting @splcenter, the message is clear: organizations that protect civil rights & counter extremism are under attack. None of us can afford to be silent. If they can target SPLC today, your synagogue, church, or local charity could be next.
As the attack on @splcenter shows, groups that protect civil rights and counter violent extremism are being criminalized by this Administration. None of us can afford to be silent. Read our full statement on the indictment of SPLC: jewishpublicaffairs.org/jcpa…

Edith Windsor turned personal loss into lasting change. Her challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act helped expand legal recognition and dignity for LGBTQ families across the country — and set the stage for marriage equality to become the law of the land.

When this pardon payout fund was first reported, @amyspitalnick warned that it would send a dangerous message: that “extremism pays — literally.” Extremism should never be incentivized, rewarded, or normalized. The administration scrapping the fund is good news.

One year ago today, the Boulder community was targeted in a violent act of antisemitism. We remember Karen Diamond and all those impacted -- and refuse to accept antisemitism and violence as “normal.”

Keeping communities safe requires directly confronting antisemitism & hate in all forms, building real solidarity, and strengthening the inclusive democracy that protect all of us.

Jewish Council for Public Affairs retweeted
Our partners in Indiana rejected the Lt Gov’s call to “hate” Muslims. So now the LG is attacking the Jewish community. Islamophobia is never about Jewish safety — it’s about pitting us against each other & advancing extremism and it makes us all less safe indianacitizen.org/lt-gov-be…

Pride began as a fight simply to live authentically. Thanks to so many LGBTQ heroes, we've come far - and there’s much work ahead. Equality, safety, and the dignity to be who we are — created b’tzelem Elohim — are the sacred values we must always work toward. #happypridemonth

"They" are human beings. As Jews, we know all too well where government propaganda like this leads. This is white supremacist extremism that inevitably fuels violence.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel marched with Dr. King in Selma, saying, “I felt my legs were praying.” He believed civil rights work was a sacred duty—and that democracy without justice is hollow. #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth

On Shavuot, we remember Sinai — not just as a moment of revelation, but a call to justice & shared responsibility. Just as the Torah was given to the people, we affirm that democracy is strongest when it is inclusive — when every voice is heard and dignity is upheld for all.
