      AJC Lanza el Concejo de Líderes Latinos y Judíos

      NUEVA YORK, 12 de enero de 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Nueva York – Un grupo de prominentes judíos y latinos en los Estados Unidos ha establecido el Concejo de Líderes Latinos y Judíos (LJLC, por sus siglas en inglés). Convocado por AJC, este nuevo concejo nacional trabajará para promover la cooperación entre las comunidades judía e hispana y para abogar por temas de interés compartido y valores sustentados por ambos grupos.

      "El futuro de este país se basa, como lo ha sido siempre, en las comunidades que se unen en pos de una visión de un mañana mejor, y para hacer –mediante el trabajo arduo y la perseverancia–, que esa visión se haga realidad", señaló Luis Ubiñas, Presidente de la Fundación Ford (2008 al 2013), Presidente de la Junta Directiva de la Fundación de Desarrollo Pan Americano y miembro fundador del LJLC. "Si la comunidad latina y judía trabajan juntas podremos alcanzar todos nuestros anhelos".

      AJC lleva más de una década comprometido con la profundización del entendimiento y la cooperación entre latinos y judíos. El LJLC es la extensión de una serie iniciativas innovadoras que incluyen el lanzamiento del Caucus Latino-Judío en el Congreso estadounidense el 2011, y el auspicio en el 2013 de la Conversación Nacional sobre el Estado de las Relaciones Latino-Judías en Washington, D.C., a la que asistieron 100 líderes de ambas colectividades. Muchos de los miembros del LJLC han participado en éstas y otras actividades del Instituto Belfer para Asuntos Latinos y Latinoamericanos del AJC (BILLA por sus siglas en inglés).

      "Cuando el mismísimo carácter pluralista de Estados Unidos está siendo desafiado por algunos, cuando vemos que los crímenes de odio se han incrementado y comunidades enteras han sido estigmatizadas, la creación de este Concejo reafirma la importancia de nuestro destino común, y la fortaleza y resiliencia de nuestra nación que emana de su diversidad", dijo Dina Siegel Vann, directora de BILLA del AJC, quien es también miembro del LJLC.

      La primera reunión del Concejo tendrá lugar el 1° de marzo en Washington, DC.
