Advocacy
United Jewish Appeal of Atlantic Canada supports the Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA), our national advocacy arm, which oversees the strategic alignment of our family of agencies including Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC), Canada-Israel Committee (CIC), and National Jewish Campus Life (NJCL).

As the advocacy arm of the Canadian Federations, CIJA works with communities to improve the quality of Jewish life here at home and abroad, while strengthening the Canada-Israel relationship. NJCL supports and encourages Canadian students to advocate on behalf of human rights.

The AJC Community Relations Committee monitors anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activities throughout the region. We also represent the community in a number of interfaith and human rights programs within Atlantic Canada.

Your gift to the UJA Campaign helps agencies to build understanding and co-operation between religious, racial, and ethnic groups through education, community collaboration, and advocacy.
