JFGS Public Policy Survey

One of the Jewish Federation’s most important programs is the government affairs work we do on behalf of the Jewish community. Since the mid-90’s the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle has maintained a presence in Olympia, WA to look out for our community’s interests. Guided by the twin duties of Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam, we have forcefully supported issues ranging from establishing Washington’s first Jewish hospice to strengthening the state’s hate crime statute.

With summer in full-swing, the Jewish Federation’s public policy committee has begun to formulate its agenda for 2011 and beyond. An important part of this process is hearing from you. What issues are most important to you? Do you care about protecting the environment? Are you concerned about refugees fleeing persecution? Or, maybe your passion is securing civil rights for everyone?

Please take a few moments to complete this short survey. Your answers will help us prioritize issues during the upcoming legislative session. It also gives us valuable insight into the topics our community cares about most, which will enable us to better represent the Jewish community in Olympia and elsewhere.

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,

Zach Carstensen
Government Relations and Public Affairs Director
