JAWN was founded in 2019. The organization is led by Sophie Ellman-Golan.[1] The organization was founded in reaction to the Presidency of Donald Trump and the increase of antisemitism within American politics.[2]
JAWN and Bend the Arc have cooperated to maintain a website titled HowToFightAntisemitism.
In 2019, Donald Trump signed an executive order to deny aid to colleges that tolerate antisemitism, an action viewed by critics as an effort to stifle criticism of Israel. JAWN's Ellman-Golan stated that "This is not 'protecting Judaism under civil rights law...This is using Jews and Judaism as a shield to go after Palestinians and anti-authoritarian professors and student activists."[3] The Reconstructionist rabbi Ellen Lippman has served as an advisor to the group.[4]
In a 2019 opinion piece, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg credited Donald Trump for reviving the Jewish left in the United States. She quoted Jawn's Ellman-Golan saying that while antisemitism does exist within left-wing politics, "only one political party is quite literally inciting white nationalists to shoot up our synagogues, drive cars into our peaceful protests, mail bombs to members of our community, burn black churches and mosques, and open fire on Latinx people."[5][6]
