Who Should Join

This grassroots convening brings together Jewish leaders who emerged from within their own communities in the wake of October 7. Grounded in lived experience rather than top-down strategy, it exists to support that courage, strengthen impact, and foster connection among these leaders. While this energy is present across Jewish life, this gathering will focus on six key areas.

• Campus Organizers: Jewish alumni and faculty who are stepping up to support today’s students and campuses. They rally alumni networks to strengthen Jewish life, counter antisemitism, and partner with university leaders to create safer, more vibrant campus environments.
• K–12 Educators & School Advocates: Parents and educators shaping how Jewish life and history show up in schools. They push for accurate Holocaust and Jewish education, run for and serve on school boards, influence curricula, and build inclusive environments that respond thoughtfully when Jewish students or issues arise.
• Workplace & ERG Leaders: Professionals elevating Jewish identity in the workplace. They organize employee resource groups, advise leadership on Jewish inclusion, and create spaces where Jewish employees can feel visible, supported, and safe.
• Civic Organizers: Grassroots leaders who stepped up when a ballot measure, candidate, or local issue threatened to reshape their community. Shock turned into action as they organized neighbors, educated voters, and built campaigns — win or lose.
• Arts & Culture Catalysts: Creators and cultural changemakers amplifying Jewish stories. They write, produce, publish, and build platforms that expand Jewish cultural visibility and counter erasure in arts, media, and publishing.
• Jews in Secular Spaces: Jewish professionals working in nonprofits and government who often navigate environments where Jewish identity is invisible or misunderstood. They’re finding ways to bring their full selves to work, build supportive networks, and create space for Jewish life and leadership in largely secular settings.
