About JEWISH LABOR COMMITTEE

The Jewish Labor Committee is a long-established national, donor-facing nonprofit headquartered in New York City that was founded in 1934 to oppose Nazism and to mobilize labor and Jewish communities around human rights and worker justice. The organization partners with unions, Jewish communal bodies, and civil-rights groups to run public education, advocacy campaigns, and events (including an annual Human Rights Awards Gala) focused on worker protections, civil rights, and combating antisemitism and other forms of hate. In the last three years the JLC has been actively issuing public statements and convening events and trainings on urgent topics (including responses to violence in Israel and Gaza, civil‑democracy concerns, and educational webinars on acts of hate), and continues to operate as an active bridge between trade unions and Jewish civic life.

Notable achievements

Historic founding and early mobilization

Founded in 1934 to oppose Nazism and fascism, the JLC organized major early campaigns including the 1936 World Labor Athletic Carnival (a Counter‑Olympics) that mobilized hundreds of athletes and labor supporters to protest the Berlin Olympics.

Sustained national labor–Jewish advocacy

The JLC has maintained decades-long partnerships with major unions and Jewish organizations, convening high-profile events such as its Annual Human Rights Awards Gala that attract national leaders and union executives, demonstrating continued influence in both labor and Jewish communal spheres.

Recent public education and anti‑hate programming

In the past 2–3 years the JLC has produced webinars and trainings (for example a December 2023 webinar on acts of hate), public statements and coordinated actions addressing antisemitism, worker safety, and democratic norms, reflecting active programmatic work on pressing civic and workplace issues.
