Coalition Members

We are the bridge that connects K-12 policy makers, administrators, and elected officials with their constituents.​
​
Our activities range from passing resolutions at school boards and building relationships with candidates and incumbents, to responding to antisemitic incidents in schools, and organizing workshops that train parents and students on how to advocate for the protection of their Jewish civil rights in the K-12 ecosystem.

Everything we do provides immediate support for the victims while at the same time delivering positive and long lasting change by preventing or eliminating future recurrences.

Through targeted advocacy, coalition building, and hands-on mobilization activities, we create impactful solutions.

Founded in May 2021 as the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values, NAVI originally focused on the growing imposition of radical social justice ideology inside and outside the Jewish community.

Within a year, it became clear that the most important and under-addressed front in the spread of extremist ideology and rising antisemitism was the K–12 education system.

In response, we focused our mission and relaunched as the North American Values Institute, dedicated to restoring academic integrity, open inquiry, and free expression in America’s schools.

We believe that every student has the right to a safe learning environment that is free from discrimination and hate.

Our intent is to help schools better understand the experience and needs of their Jewish community, and to work collaboratively with teachers and school administrators to address areas for improvement.

Our advocacy operates through three pillars: civic education, policy advocacy, and electoral engagement.

We advance a 6+1 Agenda spanning foreign policy priorities (preventing a nuclear Iran, expanding the Abraham Accords, strengthening the U.S.-Israel alliance), domestic priorities (combating antisemitism, protecting Holocaust education, defending students on campus), plus rapid-response capabilities.

We advocate for all Jewish parents and teachers and students to have the right to their Jewish identity & history in school environments and ensure it is honestly represented in curriculum and policy.

We help identify and address concerns, connect people with appropriate resources, and elevate issues to school districts, unions, school boards, and officials at the local, state, and federal levels.

Through public advocacy and private advising, we promote transparency, accountability, and informed education about Jews, Judaism, and Israel.

Child-rearing is the ultimate “learn on the job” experience, full of growth, discovery and plenty of plot twists.

Our content offers a nourishing mix of the practical and the playful, delivering thoughtful insights on everything from toddler tantrums to teen mental health (what we affectionately refer to as the broccoli) to fun-filled ideas for family outings and memorable experiences (the popcorn!).

We are advocating for five key policies: defining antisemitism, training educators on Jewish identity and history, bringing Jewish Joy to the community, ensuring continuous and targeted antisemitism training, and providing comprehensive reporting of antisemitic incidents.

Each of our goals supports creating a safe educational environment within all South Bay schools.

Across the country, Jewish educators and allies are facing a simple choice that should never exist: stay quiet about antisemitism and bias or risk your job by speaking up. Incidents are minimized. Complaints disappear. Systems that promise equity often ignore Jewish identity entirely.

One Nation of Educators (ONE) is a national, educator-led accountability network built to change that reality, not just comment on it.

SHIELD is a grassroots initiative led by parents, educators, and community advocates who believe every Jewish student deserves a classroom free from bias, distortion, and fear.

Born from lived experience and driven by urgency, SHIELD was founded by moms who witnessed firsthand how antisemitism and anti-Israel bias were creeping into their children’s classrooms.

We connect families on the front lines with advocacy organizations working behind the scenes to demand transparency, fairness, and educational integrity. SHIELD offers practical tools, a supportive community, and a clear pathway to take meaningful action.

CJA is proactive in addressing anti-Jewish incidents, curricula challenges, and other obstacles faced by Jewish families in the K-12 educational space throughout the Chicagoland area.

We are committed to providing robust support to parents and students, collaborating closely with school administrations to create environments where Jewish children feel safe, valued, and supported.

Through our dedicated efforts, we advocate for equitable representation and protection within educational institutions, ensuring that every Jewish student can flourish academically and socially.

CJA’s vigilance and advocacy are crucial in fostering inclusive educational spaces that empower Jewish families to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience.

NoVaChai is a grass roots, ground up effort to build and foster a more positive, supportive learning environment for Jewish students.

The name NoVaChai is derived from Northern Virginia and Chai, the Hebrew word for life. The foundation was established in 2024 to grow appreciation for the Jewish experience, current and historical, for all high school students in the Washington DC region.

NoVaChai achieves this through three primary goals:

Improving student access to content that better represents Jews and Jewish experience for in class learning

Aiding high school students that seek to establish and maintain clubs that celebrate Jewish life and explore Jewish experience

Rewarding schoolwork that explores Jewish identity, history, politics and achievement

Born out of the conviction that Jewish identity must never be hidden or sidelined, Jewish Frontline brings together individuals, families, and leaders to create meaningful opportunities for engagement, education, and cultural expression. We work at the intersection of tradition and modern civic life—rooted in Jewish values and committed to building bridges across communities.
