The Workers Circle, a 122-year-old progressive Jewish nonprofit, notified the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations today that it is resigning its membership.

It cited the conference’s “failure to condemn the Israeli parliament’s recent steps to erode democracy in Israel” and its silence “in the face of the many attacks on democracy here in the United States.”
