Information
Organization's Own Description:
Democrats for Israel Los Angeles is a Democratic Club that advocates for the defense of Israel and issues of concern to the Jewish community in the Democratic Party and promotes the liberal and progressive Democratic values to our communities in Los Angeles.
It is governed by its Board of Directors which is elected annually in the late summer.
Founded in 1991 by pro-Israel activists such as Congressman Brad Sherman, former Assemblyman Paul Koretz and Clinton White House Advisor John Emerson, DFI-LA worked with other Pro-Israel groups to organize within the California Democratic Party to educate party activists about Israel and the Middle East.
Over the years, the organization grew and under the leadership of Howard Welinsky, Dr. Francine Hanberg, Jay Greenstein, Marilyn Landau, Edward Tabash, Andrew Lachman, Leeor Alpern and others, the group grew to become a full-fledged Democratic Club serving the role of reaching out to the Jewish community on behalf of the Democratic Party as well and getting involved with other issues of concern to the Jewish community such as protecting religious tolerance, human rights abuses in North Korea and Darfur, civil rights and labor rights.
