American Jewish Committee (AJC) stands with the African American community in recognition of the significance of Juneteenth and with shared aspirations of achieving equal rights for all in the pursuit of the American Dream.
On this Juneteenth, AJC stands in solidarity with the Black community and rededicates itself to the pursuit of racial equality. We call on all Jews to do likewise.
European leaders ought to be clearly on the U.S. side on this issue. They should play hardball with Moscow and Beijing and announce diplomatic, if not economic, consequences if the two countries block a new Security Council resolution to extend the arms embargo. Such muscular posturing would also be Europe's best bet to preserve what's left of the JCPOA.
Reasserting its longstanding commitment to the struggle for racial justice, pluralism, and social harmony, American Jewish Committee (AJC) today announced the opening of new regional offices in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, and Louisville, Kentucky. “We share the promise of America for all,” said AJC CEO David Harris. “We can help restore the breath of America, even if we cannot help restore the breath of George Floyd.”
