[ ]J Street[ ]
Friends,

The scenes on college campuses have been shocking – grotesque displays of
antisemitism, appalling exchanges between protesters and
counter-protesters, students and faculty thrown to the ground by police in
inexcusable displays of brutality.

As protests spread across the nation, members of J Street U – the student
organizing arm of J Street – have met the moment with empathetic, nuanced
and compassionate leadership. Speaking out for the rights of Jewish
students and non-violent protesters alike, returning focus to the core
issues on the ground in Israel and Gaza, and pushing back against those
seeking to exploit the moment for political gain.

At J Street, we firmly believe that all students – including Jewish
students and protesters – have a right to safety, free speech and
protection from violence, harassment, and intimidation.

This Tuesday at 12pm Eastern, join a special call to hear directly from J
Street U student leaders across the country offering an unvarnished look
into the dynamics on their campuses and how they’re meeting this
incredibly challenging moment.

U’s National Board. He is pursuing an additional degree in Jewish
History at the Jewish Theological Seminary.

She interns at the Nexus Project, an initiative focused on parsing out

J Street U chapter. She is the daughter of two rabbis and an alum of
the dialogue program Seeds of Peace.

J Street U is home to the next generation of American advocates standing

people are.

J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy
Americans who want Israel to be secure, democratic and the national home of the
Jewish people. Working in American politics and the Jewish community, we
advocate policies that advance shared US and Israeli interests as well as Jewish
and democratic values, leading to a two-state solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
