THROUGH THESE RELATIONSHIPS AND OUR INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE, WHICH SPANS ACROSS SIX CONTINENTS, AJC IS ABLE TO IMPACT OPINION AND POLICY ON THE ISSUES OF COMBATING RISING ANTISEMITISM AND EXTREMISM, DEFENDING ISRAEL'S PLACE IN THE WORLD, AND SAFEGUARDING THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF ALL PEOPLE. AJC'S INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTES CARRY OUT THE AGENCY'S ADVOCACY WORK TOGETHER WITH OFFICES AND/OR REPRESENTATIVES IN BERLIN, BRUSSELS, JERUSALEM, PARIS, ROME, SAO PAULO, SOFIA, SOUTHEAST ASIA, TOKYO, WARSAW, AND BULGARIA. AJC ALSO HAS MORE THAN 30 FORMAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH JEWISH COMMUNITIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE DEPARTMENT OF POLICY AND DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS AJC'S WASHINGTON, D.C.-BASED OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS OVERSEES DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY OF AJC'S PUBLIC POLICY PRIORITIES THROUGH EXTENSIVE OUTREACH TO, AND INTERACTION AND JOINT PROGRAMMING WITH, U.S. AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, POLITICAL FACTIONS, POLICY EXPERTS, THE MEDIA, AND CIVIL SOCIETY PARTNERS, INCLUDING OVERSEAS JEWISH COMMUNITIES. DURING 2019, AJC ADVOCATED TO SECURE THE ADOPTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE ALLIANCE (IHRA) WORKING DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND URGE THE EUROPEAN UNION TO DESIGNATE HEZBOLLAH AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, AMONG OTHER AGENCY-WIDE INTERNATIONAL GOALS.

REGIONAL OFFICES: THE DEPARTMENT OF REGIONAL OFFICES' NETWORK OF 22 OFFICES ADVANCES AJC'S PRIORITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. IN LOCATIONS WHERE AJC DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL PRESENCE, WE WORK WITH PARTNERS TO ACCOMPLISH AJC'S OBJECTIVES, CARRYING OUT AJC'S MISSION THROUGH A COMBINATION OF ADVOCACY, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND FUNDRAISING. THE REGIONAL OFFICES COMMUNICATE AND ADVOCATE WITH A VARIETY OF KEY INTERLOCUTORS, INCLUDING ELECTED OFFICIALS, DIPLOMATS, INTERGROUP AND INTERFAITH LEADERS, CIVIC LEADERS, UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS, CAMPUS LEADERS AND THE MEDIA. THEY CONNECT THE LOCAL TO THE GLOBAL AND POSITION AJC AS THE GO-TO ORGANIZATION FOR JEWISH COMMUNITIES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS AT EVERY LEVEL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. IN 2019, AJC NATIONAL EFFORTS FOCUSED ON AFFIRMING ISRAEL'S PLACE IN THE WORLD, COMBATING ANTI-SEMITISM BOTH DOMESTIC AND ABROAD, COUNTERING THE SPREAD OF RADICALISM AND EXTREMISM, AND FOSTERING AMERICAN GLOBAL LEADERSHIP. MAJOR RESOURCES WERE DEVOTED TO NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS TO DEFEAT ANTI-ISRAEL MEASURES AT CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONAL CONFERENCES AND INCREASE CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP TO THE U.S. BIPARTISAN TASKFORCE FOR COMBATING ANTI-SEMITISM, AMONG OTHER INITIATIVES. THE REGIONAL OFFICES HAVE A CRITICAL FUNDRAISING RESPONSIBILITY. THE 22 REGIONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING 62% OF AJC'S ANNUAL UNRESTRICTED REVENUE AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE TEMPORARY AND PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED REVENUE.

COMMUNICATIONS: AJC'S COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT SERVES AS THE AGENCY'S CHIEF STORYTELLER. THE DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS AND AMPLIFIES THE EFFORTS OF EVERY DEPARTMENT WITHIN AJC AND OF THE ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE, WHILE ADVANCING ITS ADVOCACY AGENDA AND BROADENING AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF THE AJC BRAND BY MEANS OF STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS METHODS.
