Jewish Council for Public Affairs

The Jewish Council for Public Affairs, with 15 national Jewish organizations and 125 local Jewish organizations, is the national coordinating agency for Jewish organizations engaged in public policy and community relations.  Through our major anti-poverty program, the Confronting Poverty Initiative (CPI), we will encourage our local community members to reach out to their coalitions — in particular, their already-existing interfaith coalitions — to partner in events to highlight the importance of early childhood programs, and focus on early childhood programs through our already-established, annual programs such as our Hunger Seder and our Fighting Poverty with Faith Mobilization.
