2020 will soon end. But our fight to keep the Jewish people safe is not over. AJC needs you.

Dear John,

2020 will soon come to an end. But our fight to keep the Jewish people safe is hardly over.

In this trying year, AJC’s mission grew ever more urgent. [link removed] As the world was plunged into chaos, fear and uncertainty fueled antisemitism, anti-Israel conspiracy theories, and other types of hate.

But, as AJC CEO David Harris wrote below, the turmoil did not slow AJC down. AJC stood undeterred, laser-focused on our priorities, ensuring that those who target Jews and threaten our values are held to account.

It is this steadfast determination and ability to drive results that inspire me to support AJC. I hope it inspires you too. [link removed]

Time is running out to make your year-end gift to AJC—and to have it doubled. Your generosity will allow AJC to intensify its efforts in 2021 and make an even greater impact. [link removed]

This year, AJC made strides against antisemitism by educating policymakers in the U.S. and across the globe and partnering with them to address the problem.

AJC joined forces with allies from other faith and ethnic communities to confront hate and bigotry and to reaffirm our core values.

And AJC helped keep Israel strong by cultivating alliances for the Jewish state and taking on terror groups committed to her demise, like Iranian-backed Hezbollah.

The progress made during these dark days speaks to the brighter world that AJC works to build every day, a world where Jews and all people of good will can live free of fear.

You can help us get there. Please make a tax-deductible year-end gift to AJC before midnight. Don’t miss this chance to have your gift go twice as far. [link removed]

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2021,

Matthew Bronfman
Chair, AJC Board of Trustees

P.S. If you have already given, please accept my sincere thanks. If you haven’t yet made a gift to AJC, there are still a few hours left to have it doubled. [link removed] Thank you.

2020 will soon end. But our fight to keep the Jewish people safe is not over. AJC needs you. Click to View in Browser [link removed] [link removed]   Dear Matthew,

Tonight we close the door on a painful year, a year in which an already challenging situation for the Jewish people grew darker amid a global pandemic that fostered fear and deepened divisions.

History has taught us that evil flourishes when good people are silent. It’s up to us to make our voices heard.

In these final hours of 2020, will you raise your voice and join with AJC in affirming our shared principles? [link removed] We will battle antisemitism when Jews anywhere are threatened. We will stand up for Israel when her legitimacy is challenged. We will defend our core values when they come under attack. Across the U.S. and around the world, AJC is turning these ideals into action to protect the Jewish people and all people of good will. But we can’t do this urgent work without you. [link removed]

Time is running out to make your tax-deductible year-end donation to AJC. If you give before midnight tonight, your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar. [link removed] [link removed] Each of us has a responsibility to shape what comes next. That means refusing to stand on the sidelines as an observer and, instead, joining AJC as an author of history. [link removed] Join AJC as we mobilize millions of people across the globe to fight back against antisemitism and hate. Join AJC as we advocate with world leaders and elected officials for new laws and policies that make our communities safer. Join AJC as we combat bigotry through groundbreaking coalitions with Muslim, Christian, Black, Latino, and Asian partners. Join AJC at the forefront of efforts to broker peace between Israel and the Arab world. Support from friends like you has allowed AJC to drive change on the issues that matter most. [link removed] But we remain in an uphill battle against those who wish to do the Jewish people harm. Having you on our side makes all the difference.

There is still time to act: Please make a tax-deductible gift before midnight tonight so your contribution can go twice as far. [link removed] [link removed] With best wishes for a healthy and happy new year,

David Harris
AJC Chief Executive Officer
Edward and Sandra Meyer Office of the CEO

P.S. If you have already made your year-end gift to AJC, thank you. But if you haven’t yet given, please know that your donation will be doubled—but only if we receive it before midnight tonight.
