Who We Are

Northern New Jersey JVP (NNJ JVP) is a pod/chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, a national, grassroots organization inspired by Jewish tradition to work for a just and lasting peace according to principles of human rights, equality, and international law for all the people of Israel and Palestine.

The JVP family of organizations has restructured. JVP Action, our 501c4 organization, is now doing business as JVP. JVP Lab, our 501c3 organization, continues separately and remains focused on our nonpartisan educational and cultural work. Learn more at jvp.org/jvporgs.

JVP members stand with banners reading “U.S. BOMBS KILL CHILDREN” and “Jewish Voice for Peace Northern New Jersey, jvpnorthjersey.org” some carry signs with photos of dead Palestinian or Israeli children; most wear white T-shirts saying “Jews Say Fund People not Bombs”

The Palestinian Exile: 78 Years and No Future

Sunday, September 20th, 3:00–5:00 p.m.

While Israel bombs what’s left of Gaza and settlers, backed by the IDF, and terrorize the West Bank, millions languish in the shadows of exile.

No bombs fall here, yet systemic isolation has choked the futures of four generations. They live in hyper-dense camps without infrastructure.
