JEWS FOR RACIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE (JFREJ)

Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) is a New York–based grassroots Jewish organization that organizes Jewish residents to pursue racial, economic, and social justice through campaigns, neighborhood groups, caucuses, culture, and electoral work. JFREJ combines community organizing, coalition campaigns, and an electoral arm (The Jewish Vote) to push for policy wins in areas including care economy reforms, housing and tenants’ rights, ending racist policing and deportations, and hate-violence prevention. The organization reports a membership in the thousands and operates both a 501(c)(3) community/organizing arm and a 501(c)(4)/electoral presence that coordinate organizing and endorsements. In recent years JFREJ has remained active in New York politics and civic life—running membership-driven campaigns, endorsing and mobilizing voters for progressive candidates, and partnering with frontline community organizations to pursue concrete policy and legislative goals at city and state levels.
