Washington State Jewish Action Center

The Jewish Federation is committed to tzedekah, or justice, and sees our partnership with government as a necessary component of our work. Our work is focused on four main areas: Children, Youth and Families, Adults, Seniors and Human and Civil Rights. As such, we work tirelessly to protect the partnership between government, our partner agencies and the clients they serve. This includes legislative advocacy work, grassroots organizing, community education and coalition building.
