Consultation on Conscience

The RAC's Flagship Social Justice Gathering!

The Consultation on Conscience is the RAC’s flagship social justice gathering, convening activists, social justice leaders, clergy, and people who want to make a difference from across North America. Over four days in Washington, DC, we will learn, lead, and act together.

If you’re feeling scared, isolated, and motivated, this is your chance to turn those feelings into action. In joining hundreds of attendees at the Consultation who share your concerns and values, you can be part of the collective light and voice needed to make a change on the issues you and our Movement cares about – those grounded in our core Jewish values.

If you’re looking to learn more about making a difference when it comes to threats to democracy, rising antisemitism, the war between Israel and Hamas, and attacks on immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, reproductive rights, and more, join us at the Consultation. Whether you’re new to social justice work or a seasoned veteran, the Consultation is for you.
