Advocacy
We educate elected officials on issues vital to the Jewish community, and we champion important legislation. To ensure an informed electorate, we surface information about politicians, pending bills, and policy positions.
We are currently working on the following:
- We are monitoring hate crimes legislation that pertains to protections for the Jewish American Community in Harrisburg.
- We are meeting with local elected officials on a regular basis about the rising tide of antisemitism and what actions they can take to protect their constituents.
Candidate evaluations
Beacon Coalition vets candidates for political office in three areas: combating antisemitism, upholding democracy, and championing pluralism.
Our candidate evaluations for the November 2024 general elections are now available. We have covered a number of key races across Pennsylvania.
Candidate support
Our affiliated group, Beacon Coalition Political Act Fund, will provide explicit support to politicians who share our values.
