Senior Administration officials and Congressional leaders will address leaders of national Jewish organizations and Jewish communal leaders from across the nation at the National Jewish Leadership Advocacy Day on Iran on Thursday, September 10th. Reflecting support for President Obama’s position that Iran’s acquisition of nuclear arms capacity is “unacceptable,” this unprecedented Advocacy Day is intended to urge implementation of strong economic and diplomatic measures directed at the Iranian regime and the expeditious adoption of key legislative initiatives now before Congress, including the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act. The National Jewish Leadership Advocacy Day is organized by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Iran, which includes the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, UJC/The Jewish Federations of North America, and NCSJ: Advocates on behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States and Eurasia, as well as numerous national Jewish organizations and friends of the community. Following morning briefing sessions, delegations will meet with their Congressional representatives to discuss the urgency of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Media coverage of the opening session is invited.
