Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) Action

Jewish Voice for Peace Action (JVP Action) is a progressive organization that advocates for policies that promote human rights and racial justice, with a particular focus on advocating for Palestinian rights. It is the political arm of Jewish Voice for Peace, which describes itself as a diverse and rapidly growing anti-Zionist Jewish organization. JVP Action has been active in recent political developments, particularly in New York City, where candidates it has supported have seen electoral success. These wins are framed by Palestinian rights advocates as significant blows to the pro-Israel camp in US politics. The organization's recent involvement includes participation in protests, such as those outside the UN headquarters during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, where participants, including Jewish individuals, voiced opposition to Israeli policies and called for Gaza to live. JVP Action's current relevance lies in its role as a prominent voice within the progressive Jewish community advocating for a shift in US foreign policy regarding Israel and Palestine.
