Intergroup and Interfaith Advocacy
American Jewish Committee (AJC) Chicago builds strategic coalitions with prominent religious, ethnic, and community leaders across the region. As a global leader in interfaith and intergroup engagement, AJC Chicago cultivates important alliances with the Chicago area’s diverse population. Through these partnerships, we combat antisemitism and hatred targeting other religious and ethnic groups. We advance constructive dialogue and unite diverse leadership to promote shared values and advocate for common concerns.
In addition, AJC Chicago organizes educational forums, social gatherings, and public events that bring AJC and diverse community leaders together. These initiatives foster trust, promote mutual understanding, and facilitate coalition-building across religious and cultural divides. By fostering these relationships and creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue, AJC Chicago strengthens its role as a vital voice in the civic landscape and advances its mission to advocate for the Jewish people and democratic values.
