Who We Are

 

The American Jewish Committee, established in 1906, determined that the best way to protect Jews would be to create a world in which all peoples were accorded respect and dignity.

Over 100 years later, AJC continues its efforts to promote pluralistic and democratic societies where all minorities are protected. AJC is an international think tank and advocacy organization that attempts to identify trends and problems early - and takes action. AJC’s approach, tackling a breadth of interests in a deliberate, diplomatic manner, contributes to a success that gains trust, earns access, and, most importantly, produces results.
















The Greater Boston Chapter of the AJC, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, focuses on implementing the AJC's national agenda to protect rights and freedoms and combat bigotry by engaging in a diverse set of programs and activities, including:
  • Israel & Middle East advocacy
  • Diplomatic Outreach
  • Inter-religious & inter-ethnic dialogue groups
  • Hosting speakers on international and domestic affairs

 

In addition to its New York headquarters and Office of Government & International Affairs in Washington, AJC operates 32 U.S. chapters and 8 overseas offices. In addition, AJC has 22 global partnerships and our Geneva affiliate, UN Watch.
