Jewish Community Relations and Multiracial Coalitions: Strategies for a Secure Future

A Conversation Between JCPA CEO Amy Spitalnick and CEO and Founder of the Jews of Color Initiative Ilana Kaufman

In partnership with the Jews of Color Initiative, JCPA held a critical discussion featuring Ilana Kaufman, Founder and CEO of the Jews of Color Initiative, and Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, examining how strategic partnerships and diverse Jewish leadership could strengthen Jewish safety, solidarity, and civic engagement.

Moderated by Christina Jefferson, JoCI Board Chair, Repair the World and JCRC Bay Area Board Member, and Sr. Director of Inclusion and Culture at the San Francisco Forty Niners, this session provided actionable insights on how Jewish community organizations working in community relations spaces could build powerful coalitions, elevate diverse leadership, and advocate effectively for the security and future of our communities in the face of rising antisemitism and broader hate.

Our work is just beginning, and we invite you to stay engaged with both JoCI and JCPA’s work to build robust, multiracial coalitions to secure a resilient future for Jews and all communities. Learn more about how to take action below:
