The UCSJ for Soviet Jews monitors anti-semitism, fascism, and human rights violations in the countries of the former Soviet Union(FSU). Based on information gathered, provides advocacy on behalf of Jews in the FSU.
In addition, UCSJ coordinates the Yad L'Yad humanitarian assistance program, partnership synagogues in the US with Jewish communities in the FSU to provide food, medical supplies, and religious education to those in need.
Publishes FSU Monitor, a quarterly newsletter. Daily news updates on website.

The UCSJ is the largest independent grassroots organization advocating for Jews and human rights in the former Soviet Union (FSU). By monitoring and advocating the causes of Jews and the persecuted minorities, UCSJ's activity also promotes the human rights and security of all. We accomplish this by advocating to government officials in the US and abroad on behalf of the victims of persecution in the FSU, providing material and spiritual programs, publicizing antisemitism, fascism, xenophobia, religous persecution, and human rights abuses.
