Federation Joins the Second Annual North Carolina Jewish Day of Advocacy

Leaders from the Greensboro Jewish Federation traveled to Raleigh this summer to take part in the second annual North Carolina Jewish Day of Advocacy. Joined by more than 30 Jewish professionals and advocates from across the state, the delegation called for stronger protections, greater understanding, and justice in the face of rising antisemitism.

The most powerful moment came with the unanimous passage of House Resolution 1013, introduced by Rep. Grant Campbell of Cabarrus County. The resolution condemned antisemitic attacks, called for support for Jewish Americans, and urged Congress to take action on behalf of the hostages still held by Hamas after the October 7, 2023 attacks.

Throughout the day, the Greensboro delegation met with lawmakers from Guilford County and beyond, ensuring that Jewish voices from across the Triad were heard—loud and clear. These conversations emphasized the need for safety, protection, and solidarity at a time of rising antisemitism—both in North Carolina and nationwide.

Federation Vice President Peggy Bernstein participated in the day’s meetings. “This was an important opportunity to come together as Jews from across the state and speak with one voice,” Bernstein said. “Lawmakers heard our concerns, and I believe we made a real difference.”

Together with our statewide partners, The Greensboro Jewish Federation remains committed to standing up, speaking out, and demonstrating both the strength and unity of North Carolina’s Jewish community.
