Advocacy organizations
As a nonsectarian, nonpolitical 501(c)(3) nonprofit, AFEDJ does not engage in explicitly political activities but recognizes that many of our supporters are moved to do so. Below is a list of organizations that offer the opportunity to advocate on behalf of vulnerable and displaced people in the Middle East.
