American Jews for a Just Peace (AJJP) is an alliance of activists in the United States working to ensure equal rights, safety, and dignity for all the people of historic Palestine.  We were founded in Boston in September, 2008. 

AJJP operates as an alliance of autonomous chapters and individual members across the United States.  AJJP is a grassroots, membership-driven network of activists who coordinate our collective work under a shared name and common principles.

We are a predominantly Jewish organization and speak with a Jewish voice.  However, we welcome the full and active participation of all people of good will who agree with our Common Ground.

We encourage you to examine our founding documents:
