The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is a United States–based non-profit organization that acts as a national convener for Jewish coalitions, coordinating efforts among national and local partners to address issues affecting the Jewish community and to promote inclusive democracy. Its work centers on advancing essential community values by organizing collective advocacy and public policy initiatives, including efforts to protect democracy and combat hate and bigotry. Based in the United States and established about eight decades ago, JCPA positions itself within the non-profit sector focused on civic engagement and social justice for Jewish communities. The organization targets Jewish communities and allied partners, aiming to reduce systemic racism and racial disparities through initiatives such as criminal justice reform, while fostering collaboration across organizations to respond to policy challenges. In recent years, JCPA has launched new initiatives and networks to support these goals, including programs dedicated to protecting democratic processes and addressing hate, reflecting its broader role as a coordinating body for advocacy and public affairs within the Jewish community.
