About - American Hindu Jewish Congress Inc.

Our Journey: From the First Story to Every Headline Today

“The American Hindu Jewish Congress Inc. is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization founded by American Hindu and Jewish business and community leaders committed to pragmatic, values based engagement.

The organization addresses a range of shared concerns affecting the United States, including—but not limited to—rising antisemitism and anti-Hindu bias, through coalition building, issue focused conferences, political events, and direct engagement with federal and state policymakers. The American Hindu Jewish Congress also organizes political fundraising events in support of its mission and priorities.

Our mission is to foster awareness and advocate for legislative and regulatory change to better address our concerns. At AHJC, we believe that combating misinformation and prejudice is essential to creating a more respectful society.
