Dear AJC Friend ,
For the Jewish people and all those who stand on the side of humanity , this is a dark and turbulent time . It is also a time of immense opportunity , and the stakes could not be higher .
Our actions in this moment will shape the future . How will history judge us ?
When Jewish lives were threatened by rising antisemitism , did we speak up ? When Israel ’ s existence was under attack , did we stand by the Jewish state ? When our democratic values were under fire , did we fight to protect them ?
American Jewish Committee ( AJC ) surely did . For over a century , AJC has never wavered in its defense of the Jewish people and our cherished values .
In the wake of the horrific attack against the Israeli people on October 7 , 2023 , we were forced to reckon with painful truths . Antisemitism is back with a vengeance , and it doesn ’ t just threaten Jews . It threatens the foundation of democratic societies .
This is a global crisis . As the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people , AJC is proud to be leading the response — from campuses to Congress to the corridors of power worldwide .
Today , AJC is more determined than ever to shape a new future where Israel is secure ; where extremist forces are defeated ; and where Jews across the globe can flourish , free of fear . We need all people who share this vision to join us . Thank you for helping us lead the way .
Yours in service ,
Michael L . Tichnor
