Join us for DC Advocacy Day on Wednesday, April 9th to lobby for budget and policy priorities of the District’s Jewish community.

The day begins with an issue briefing and breakfast at the Jewish Federation of North America’s Washington, DC office, followed by meetings with DC Councilmembers at the John A. Wilson Building to lobby for a range of issues, including the continuation of a new nonprofit security grant program to protect institutions at risk of hate crimes.

We will also advocate in support of preserving funds for preschool teachers’ salaries (the Early Childhood Pay Equity Fund), combating antisemitism and expanding access to affordable housing.
