The Work Continues

The 2026 primary showed that HoCoJAG’s work is making a difference in Howard County. Our members shared the voter guide, talked with friends and neighbors, volunteered, donated, and helped voters understand what was at stake.

Now our attention turns to the General Election and the work ahead.

HoCoJAG was formed in response to the explosion of antisemitism in our community after October 7th 2023.

Organized as a 501(c)(4) organization, HoCoJAG serves as a complement to existing Jewish advocacy organizations, most of which are 501(c)(3)s and therefore unable to engage in direct political action such as endorsing or opposing candidates. We ask candidates to take public positions against antisemitism in all its forms, shares those positions, and then endorses candidates and publishes election guides.

We are dedicated to protecting the Howard County Jewish Community and combating antisemitism via direct political action.

HoCoJAG monitors legislation related to antisemitism in Howard County and Maryland and provides easy ways for members to take action.

HoCoJAG partners with other groups that stand against bigotry and hatred.

HoCoJAG is not for profit but as a 501(c)(4), which can engage in political action, donations are not tax-deductible. If you’d like to support us, please:
