StandWithUs forms a political action committee

LOS ANGELES (Press Release) — StandWithUs on November 5, 2026, announced the launch of StandWithUs Action as its the non-partisan 501(c)(4) public affairs sister organization in the United States. With a focus on state and local government, StandWithUs Action will fight for an America where candidates and leaders reject antisemitism and antizionist extremism, stand up for Jewish civil rights, and support a strong U.S.-Israel relationship that benefits the American people.

“Like many Americans, we are deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism and extremism in American politics. Even before this week’s elections, we concluded that the stakes for America and the Jewish people were too high to sit on the sidelines,” said Roz Rothstein, CEO and co-founder of StandWithUs. “StandWithUs will continue its vital work educating about Israel and fighting antisemitism as a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization. StandWithUs Action will build on that foundation by organizing people of all backgrounds at the grassroots level to make a positive impact on public policy and elections.”

StandWithUs Action will bring together likeminded Americans across the political spectrum to build grassroots political power. This will include:
  • Working with government officials on non-partisan policies that advance our mission.
  • Educating political leaders and the public about key policy issues and sharing accurate information about where candidates for office stand on those issues.
  • Empowering people to advocate for good public policies and make a bigger impact on key elections.
“For years, StandWithUs has supported state measures against discriminatory boycotts that target Israel, promoted adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, fought for protections against bias and bigotry in K-12 schools, and countered hostile legislation. StandWithUs Action will strengthen these public policy efforts and add a new dimension that is urgently needed — grassroots political organizing,” said Jake Bennett, Executive Director of StandWithUs Action. “We will work with national and local partners across the political spectrum to hold leaders accountable and unite our country against extremism.”

“The elections are over. Now comes the work of educating elected leaders about the challenges facing our communities and implementing effective solutions,” Bennett said. “StandWithUs Action is here to give concerned Americans a voice in that process and a meaningful role in shaping what comes next.”
