Federation is committed to advocating for our community’s wellbeing and strengthening our collective voice.
As the “central address” for the Detroit Jewish Community, we address the issues that matter most to our community in our work with local officials, state and federal lawmakers and the media. When incidents directly impact our community, we respond by organizing a coordinated response, engaging media, demanding action and ensuring that our voice is heard and acted upon. Our advocacy includes:
Educating elected officials and other leaders about key issues including antisemitism, Isreal and communal security
Serving as the voice of Jewish Detroit in Lansing and Washington, D.C.
Speaking out with clarity and force to local media
Mobilizing communal advocacy in response to incidents
