Listen, Learn, & Act - Anti-racism Toolkit
Racism’s horrific scope is plain for all to see. Recent tragedies have sparked widespread pain and anger and a heightened urgency around these issues. Whether you are a seasoned social justice activist or are delving into this work for the first time, the JCRC is here to support you, and help you create a plan of action.

Barbara Leaf could play a key role in Biden’s Middle East policy
Ron Halber, the executive director of the JCRC of Greater Washington, who moderated the panel with Leaf, told Jewish Insider he was impressed by her during their conversation. “She’s clearly an experienced Middle East hand… She provided a very cogent and comprehensive analysis,” Halber said. “It makes perfect sense based on her background, and the variety of her postings, and where the president-[elect] stands philosophically that she would be part of the team.”
JCRC Statement on Three Northern Virginia School Boards Closing on Religious Holidays
The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Washington today applauded the Arlington County School Board and the Loudoun County School Board for voting to adopt academic calendars for the 2021-2022 school year that will close schools on days coinciding with major religious observances.
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington and The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington congratulate President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris
American citizens came out in record numbers to participate in our democracy and their voices have been heard and counted. We further congratulate Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on her historic victory as the first woman, black person, and person of South Asian descent to be elected to the office of Vice President. We pray they will lead our country with compassion, justice, and wisdom.
