Dear John,

As a turbulent year draws to a close, we are at a defining moment. History is marked by such moments—and individuals are judged by how they respond.

How will history judge us?

When Jewish lives were threatened by a rising tide of antisemitism, did we speak up?

When Israel’s existence was assailed in the international arena, did we stand idly by?

When our democratic values came under fire, did we fight back?

For over a century, AJC has never wavered in its commitment to the Jewish people and our fundamental freedoms, so I can assure you of our answers to these questions. What will yours be?

Proudly affirm your answers today by making a tax-deductible year-end contribution to AJC. If you donate before midnight tonight, your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar.

What each one of us does in this crucial moment will determine what happens next. It’s up to us. And we need AJC leading the way.


From city halls to Capitol Hill, at the UN and in world capitals, AJC is your platform to advance the well-being and security of Jewish communities—and all communities.


Whether privately meeting with global leaders; mobilizing our 2 million social media followers; or, as in recent days alone, speaking out in The New York Times, and on CNN and MSNBC, AJC’s goal is the same: to push for new legislation, drive improved government policies, and build effective alliances that make this a safer world for everyone.

The progress we’ve made this past year proves how essential AJC’s advocacy is today. But it’s not enough. [link removed]

When Jews can’t walk the streets of major American cities without fear of attack… when 40% of European Jews have considered leaving for good... when college students feel they must conceal their support for Israel on campus… we must do more.

That’s only possible with your help. It’s not too late: Please make a tax-deductible gift before midnight tonight so your contribution can go twice as far when its needed most. [link removed]

How will history judge us? That will be determined by our actions and resolve today. [link removed]

With best wishes for a peaceful New Year,

David Harris
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 gift will only be doubled if we receive it before midnight tonight. There could not be a more urgent time to act. [link removed]  
Individual gifts up to $10,000 will be matched through 12.31.19. The total challenge grant is $700,000.
