JFASD Volunteer Leaders

Volunteer Leaders are the foundation of Jews For A Secular Democracy (JFASD).

YOU play the key role in organizing and shaping grassroots advocacy initiatives. 

OUR GOALS ARE SIMPLE YET VIRTUOUS:

We want the undue influence of religion out of government.

We defend separation of church and state through a Jewish perspective, at all levels of the U.S. local, state, and federal government.  

We hold elected leaders accountable to religious neutrality on policy making.

We organize and disseminate a response to right-wing religious efforts to roll back advances on issues such as:

  • Reproductive Rights

  • LGBTQ

  • + Equality

  • Racial Justice

  • Environmental Justice

  • Secular Education For All

  • Women’s Equality

  • And more!
