The Micah D. Bycel Fund for Legislative Fellows
On August 27, 2022, the Jewish Center for Justice community suffered a devastating loss with the sudden and untimely death of Board Member Micah Bycel (z”l).
The JCJ community has created a special fund to honor Micah’s memory and secure his legacy. Micah was a kind and compassionate soul. He saw a broken world and was determined to make it better for his kids and the next generation. In his honor, The Micah D. Bycel Fund for Legislative Fellows will help shape the next generation of Jewish justice activists.
In addition to the Fund, we have renamed the program, The Micah D. Bycel Legislative Fellowship. All future fellows will learn of Micah’s memory and advocate for justice in his honor.

In response to anti-Israel demonstrators showing up at protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles, the Jewish Center for Justice issued the following statement:
Recent protests against ICE raids and state violence are critical acts of justice. But some have tried to hijack them with anti-Israel hate.
Let’s be clear: These bad actors don’t care about immigration. Their goal is to silence Jews and sow division.
We refuse.
JCJ will not step away. We stand with our immigrant neighbors—proud and visible, committed to justice—and we stand against the current deployment of troops in our streets. We are here. We are staying. And we will not be silenced.
