JWI Statement on President Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 race

July 21, 2024 — Jewish Women International is grateful for President Biden’s decades of public service and work on behalf of women and girls, and for his steadfast support for Israel. JWI has a long history of working together with President Biden, most notably on the creation and passage of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994 when he was a senator.

“Biden is a man who truly believes in service,” says JWI CEO Meredith Jacobs. “From VAWA to the creation of the White House Gender Policy Council to having the first woman to serve as his vice president, the world is forever changed for the better because of Joe Biden.”

We look forward to continuing our work with the Biden Administration on behalf of women and girls everywhere until the end of his term.
