Friends,
For those of us who have spent the past year standing up for freedom, democracy and peace, the challenges have been real – and at times, overwhelming.
Yet, it’s in those very moments that I am reminded of the extraordinary power of our J Street community. Time and again, we’ve shown what it looks like when people refuse to lose hope, choose action over despair and come together to envision a better future.
This community is a source of strength, purpose and possibility. We want to see it continue to grow, fueled by people committed to building a brighter tomorrow, both at home and in the Middle East.
That’s why I hope you’ll join us at the J Street National Convention – taking place from February 28 to March 3, 2026, in Washington, DC!
When you register before December 1 using the code ‘Thankful,’ you’ll receive one of the largest discounts we offer on General Admission tickets, 30% off, but more importantly, you’ll be joining a space where inspiration turns into action.
At the Convention, you’ll join J Streeters from across the country to hear from leading American, Israeli and Palestinian voices – activists, experts and policymakers – who are confronting today’s most urgent challenges and shaping tomorrow’s opportunities. You’ll engage deeply with speakers from the US, Israel and beyond, collaborate with partner organizations and bring your advocacy straight to Capitol Hill. It’s a rare chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with people who believe, as you do, in a future of peace, justice and democracy.
We’re bringing together everyone we can because the future will not simply arrive. We must build it together. I would be deeply grateful to have you with us as we take this next bold step toward the tomorrow we know is possible.
Thank you, sincerely, for considering it!
Emily Reeves Keller
Director of Events, J Street
