American Jewish World Service - Advocacy

Advocacy

AJWS works to promote awareness and influence U.S. international policies and funding in relation to human rights, global health and poverty. In 2004 AJWS co-founded, along with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Save Darfur Coalition to end the conflict in Darfur. In 2007, it became the first national Jewish organization to promote targeted divestment by launching a divestment initiative against the government of Sudan.
