Founded in 2003, JSPAN focuses on domestic social policy issues. Through educational programs and advocacy, we engage in tikkun olam, repairing the world, in order to:
    •    advance equality and opportunity for all in our pluralistic democracy
    •    protect the Constitutional liberties and civil rights of Jews, other minorities, and the weak in our society
JSPAN invites everyone with a passion for the principles of social justice and a commitment to Jewish values to join us in seeking change that will ensure fairness and equal opportunity for everyone in our region and nation.
