Who We Are

Democratic Jewish Outreach PA (DJOP) was founded in 2008 as a collective Jewish voice in Pennsylvania. We support the principles of democracy, equality, freedom and justice, standing shoulder to shoulder with Democratic candidates and elected leaders who share these values.

Since its founding, DJOP has proudly stood for a women’s right to choose, freedom from gun violence, a clean green environment, and campaigns powered by ordinary people, not corporations. We have also promoted the ability of people to pursue the American dream through affordable healthcare and education. We have always supported a strong, secure and democratic Israel and oppose all forms of antisemitism and extremism.

Our Misson

DJOP’s mission is to elect Democratic candidates to office running in Pennsylvania who reflect Jewish and Democratic values. We accomplish this by educating Jewish Pennsylvanians about important issues and about candidates for office, and by supporting our endorsed candidates through engagement and mobilization of Jewish support for them.

Our Vision

DJOP is an essential resource in Pennsylvania politics, serving as a conduit between the Pennsylvania Jewish community and Democratic candidates and elected officials in Pennsylvania. We engage the Jewish community in matters critical to their wellbeing, and lift up Democratic leaders who support issues of importance to the Jewish community. Through our work, our elected leadership will reflect the best traditions of our democracy and the Jewish community will be led by politicians who make us proud.

Our Values

DJOP supports a vibrant and pluralistic society in which the Jewish community thrives, utilizing the shared Democratic and Jewish values of Tikkun Olam (acts that repair the world in order to achieve social justice and equality). We believe in the centrality and preservation of American democracy. We condemn antisemitism in all its forms, and believe in Israel’s right to exist as a democratic and independent nation in peace and security with its neighbors.
