American Jewish Committee (AJC) is the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people. In the wake of Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack—the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust—AJC has mobilized its unparalleled worldwide network to tackle the unprecedented threats facing Israel and the global Jewish community.
From college campuses to world capitals, AJC works with leaders at the highest levels to stand up for Israel’s right to exist in peace and security; confront antisemitism, no matter the source; and uphold the democratic values that unite us. At this dark hour, AJC is more determined than ever to shape a new future for Israel and the Jewish people. Join us.
As the AJC Miami and Broward office, we provide our community leaders with access to local diplomats, elected officials, ethnic and religious leaders, and business leaders through exclusive events, initiatives, and coalitions. Annual signature events include our Community Leadership Passover Seder, National Human Relations Award Dinner, Diplomatic Luncheon in the Fall, and our Judge Learned Hand Award Dinner.
Throughout the year we host meetings with diplomats in the Consular Corps of Miami, with local, state, and federal elected officials, and our intergroup outreach allows us to leverage longstanding relationships with diverse ethnic and religious communities to advance issues of common concern, including representatives and organizations in the Latino, Asian, Black, Christian, and Muslim communities to build bridges of understanding.
Founded over 25 years ago, ACCESS prepares the next generation of Jewish leaders to engage the key challenges facing the global Jewish community, and empowers young Jewish activists to shape the conversation on today's critical domestic and international issues.
For over 70 years, our impact has been evident beyond the Miami and Broward communities, yielding tangible results in government policies, strategic alliances, and hard-hitting legislation that have shaped our world for the better.
Previously, Brian Siegal was AJC assistant director of intergroup affairs. In Miami, Siegal has helped build coalitions with other ethnic and religious groups to address critical domestic and international issues, including energy security, immigration reform, human rights, and civil rights.
