About the author
Founded on November 11, 1906, the American Jewish Committee, often known as AJC, is a longstanding Jewish advocacy organization based in the United States. It describes itself as a global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, focused on helping Jews and Israel remain safe and thriving while building relationships with leaders across the world.
Over time, AJC has expanded from a national organization into an international one. Its work includes combating antisemitism, supporting Israel's place in the world, defending democratic values, and engaging diplomats, policymakers, interfaith partners, and community leaders in more than 100 countries.
The organization is headquartered in New York and presents itself as combining policy work, education, and global outreach. Its leadership page identifies Ted Deutch as CEO, reflecting AJC's current emphasis on public affairs, international engagement, and responding to contemporary threats facing Jewish communities.
