END OF YEAR REPORT: JDCA’s Work in 2025
In 2025, JDCA stood up and spoke out. We advocated for our Jewish and Democratic values, and elected those who share these values. Faced with the rising tide of authoritarianism and antisemitism, we channeled our despair into action, and it made a difference. In a difficult year filled with darkness, we found and created light together.
We are excited to release JDCA’s 2025 End of Year Report, and hope you take the time to explore the impact our community – including all of you – made this year. Together, we broke JDCA records, helped to power crucial Democratic victories, advocated for our values, and defended our democracy in ways we have never done before.
We couldn’t have achieved this success without you, and we are heading into 2026 with momentum and determination, and from a position of strength.
In 2025, we broke JDCA records and helped to power crucial Democratic victories. We took action in elections where we could make the biggest impact in defending democracy, and 100 percent of our endorsed candidates won their races to serve as Supreme Court justices in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and governors of New Jersey and Virginia. JDCA volunteers made over 81,000 direct voter contacts in all four states, completing more than 750 volunteer shifts, and JDCA PAC’s ads were seen over 3.2 million times in New Jersey and Virginia.
JDCA activists answered our calls to action, sending a record-breaking 110,000 letters and petition signatures to Congress, advocating for our shared values. We engaged hundreds of members of Congress on issues of importance to Jewish Americans, and hundreds of you joined our annual Week of Action, including 48 meetings with congressional offices earlier this year.
JDCA hosted 174 programs and events with more than 15,500 attendees, including thousands of new participants, and we welcome new JDCA members to our movement and look forward to working with you in the year ahead. Our events provide community, thought leadership, insight, and calls to action, and we look forward to continuing to convene virtually and in-person with all of you.
There is much to be proud of this year, and we encourage you to explore our End of Year Report.
