A grassroots
united front.
UFJL is a proactive, locally-driven movement to confront Jew hatred. Not symbolism. Not slogans. Action at the level of the city council, the school board, the police chief, and the ballot box.
Reactive isn't enough.
For decades, Jewish institutional response has been measured, deliberate, and reactive. After October 7, that posture stopped working. UFJL exists to fill the gap with proactive, neighbor-to-neighbor action.
Local before national
The fights that matter most happen on city council agendas, in school board meetings, and at police precincts, not on cable news.
Habits over headlines
One press release does nothing. Showing up to the same meetings, every month, with the same five neighbors does everything.
Coalition, not silo
Jew hatred is a problem for every community that values democracy. We build with neighbors of every faith and background.
Built by neighbors.
UFJL was founded in South Florida by a coalition of parents, business owners, students, and community organizers, all volunteers. The team is intentionally small. Local chapters do the rest.
Mimi Jankovits
South Florida community organizer. Convened the first UFJL planning circles in late 2025.
Esther Frenkel
Former school board candidate. Builds our Action Manual with input from parents and teachers.
Jonathan Kessler
Local-government veteran. Runs our voter-engagement and registration partnerships.
Every dollar raised funds the manual, the website, voter outreach, and chapter materials. There are no paid staff today.
Pledge. Engage. Vote. Three habits that, repeated together, build a united front.
Anyone who is willing to confront Jew hatred and act locally has a place here.
Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by U.S. law.
