Day 6: Get to Know the American Jewish Committee (AJC)
The American Jewish Committee (AJC), a Federation-funded partner, is one of the leading global Jewish advocacy organizations. From city halls to Capitol Hill, at the UN and in world capitals, AJC works to impact policy and opinion on some of the most important issues facing the Jewish people, much of which it highlights in its Call to Action Against Antisemitism.
Among AJC’s local successes are its efforts to link the tech industries in Miami and Israel. Recently AJC, in partnership with the Israeli Consulate in Miami and Florida International University, convened a daylong “Expanding the Ecosystem: Miami-Israel Innovation Conference.” More than 200 people participated in the event, which featured tech entrepreneurs from Israel and the U.S. AJC, through its Project Interchange program, has also organized and led several trips to Israel for Miami’s tech entrepreneurs.
