At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, convened a panel discussion with experts who discussed Israel’s right to self-defense and security, governance in Gaza, the Iranian regime and its network of terror, the Jewish state’s relationship with Arab countries in the Gulf, and much more.
AJC at the Conventions 2024
American Jewish Committee (AJC) was the only major Jewish advocacy organization to have a significant presence at both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions in the summer of 2024.
At both the RNC and DNC, AJC—the global Jewish advocacy organization for the Jewish people—engaged with leaders on the most pressing issues impacting Israel and the Jewish community, organized sideline programming with foreign policy experts, advocated for the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, and convened members of the diplomatic core.
As the Jewish Telegraphic Agency put it when previewing the political convention season, “Of the nonpartisan Jewish groups, AJC…is reclaiming, post-pandemic, its traditional convention role, hosting foreign policy talks and diplomatic receptions.”

AJC is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As such, AJC does not endorse or oppose political parties or candidates.
