With consequential elections on the horizon in both the United States and Israel, the stakes for gender equity, women’s rights, and democracy are higher than ever. In the United States, discriminatory voter ID laws and other attacks on voting rights continue to disproportionately impact women and other marginalized groups. In Israel, women remain vastly underrepresented in the Knesset while proposed legislation threatens to deepen gender segregation and roll back decades of progress for women’s rights. 

Join NCJW CEO Jody Rabhan, Israel Director Kalela Lancaster, and leading voting and civil rights experts from both the US and Israel to examine what’s at stake in these elections and what they mean for democracy, gender equity, and women’s political participation in both countries.
