The Jewish Labor Committee is a national advocacy organization that mobilizes the labor and Jewish communities around shared concerns of workers' rights, immigrant justice, antisemitism, and democratic values. Founded in the 1930s in response to fascism, the JLC fosters solidarity between Jewish and labor movements through public education, coalition-building, and commemorative events. It operates primarily in the United States, with a focus on New York and other urban centers.
