JEWISH WORLD WATCH

ROOTED IN OUR OWN EXPERIENCES OF PERSECUTION, JEWISH TRADITION AND VALUES, JEWISH WORLD WATCH WAS FOUNDED IN 2004 WHEN THE SILENCE ABOUT THE GENOCIDE IN DARFUR WAS DEAFENING. MORE THAN 18 YEARS LATER, GENOCIDE AND MASS ATROCITY ARE STILL RAMPANT AND WE FEEL OBLIGATED TO ENSURE THAT "NEVER AGAIN" ISN'T JUST A VISCERAL PHRASE BUT A CALL TO ACTION. OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON GALVANIZING THE JEWISH COMMUNITY WHERE WE ENGAGE EVERYONE FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN TO SENIORS IN ETHICAL ACTIVISM, GUIDED BY THE TENETS OF JEWISH THOUGHT AND PRINCIPLES. THE ESSENTIAL TASK FOR JEWISH WORLD WATCH, WHOSE MISSION IS TO PREVENT GENOCIDE AND ADVOCATE FOR POLITICAL ACTION TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE, IS TO HELP JEWS AND NON-JEWS UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNIVERSE OF OBLIGATION MUST EXTEND BEYOND THE SELF, THE FAMILY AND THOSE WHO WE IDENTIFY AS "US," TO INCLUDE THOSE WHO WE CLASSIFY AS "THEM." JEWISH WORLD WATCH IS THE ONLY JEWISH ORGANIZATION NATIONALLY DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE CRITICAL WORK OF CULTIVATING AWARENESS AND ADVOCACY AROUND GLOBAL MASS ATROCITIES AND THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE. WE SERVE AS A CONVENER WITHIN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY AND AN AMBASSADOR IN COMMUNITIES FREQUENTLY UNFAMILIAR WITH JEWISH TRADITIONS AND VALUES. IN PURSUIT OF THE ASPIRATIONAL VISION TO END GENOCIDE AND MASS ATROCITIES, JWW SEEKS TO ELEVATE THE PERCEPTION THAT THE PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM TARGETED HATRED AND DISCRIMINATION BELONG TO EVERYONE WITH A CONCOMITANT DUTY TO SPEAK OUT AND TAKE ACTION.JEWISH WORLD WATCH ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION THROUGH A THREE PILLAR APPROACH INVOLVING ADVOCACY, EDUCATION AND GLOBAL EMPOWERMENT PROJECTS.ADVOCACY EFFORTS.
