Jewish tradition teaches that every person is created b’tzelem Elohim—in the divine image. Yet across the country, LGBTQ+ people, especially trans youth and their families, are facing an onslaught of harmful laws and policies that threaten their dignity and well-being. From statehouses to school boards, we are witnessing efforts to roll back hard-won rights and sow division.

At Keshet, we organize rabbis, community leaders, synagogues, youth movements, and Jewish and secular organizations to take bold action. Whether gathering in community, meeting with legislators, or ensuring our institutions are inclusive and affirming, we band together to fight for LGBTQ+ equality.

Take action today for lasting change. We invite you to join us in mobilizing Jewish communities to protect LGBTQ+ rights, dignity, and safety. Contact [email protected] or fill out this interest form to get involved.
