The Workmens Circle Arbeter Ring Incorporated

The Workers Circle experienced significant growth and renewal across its programs, advocacy, and community engagement. Educational offerings expanded through new and diverse classes in Yiddish language, Jewish cultural history, and social justice. The Workers Circle activist community reached over 1.6 million voters in states that had enacted new voter suppression laws, many targeting voters of color. Our outreach took the form of phone banking, texting, handwritten postcards, and door knocking. Our Demand Democracy/Fight Fascism Campaign connected with thousands of new activists, and we created powerful partnerships with Black-led organizations, including the Center for Common Ground, Black Voters Matter, and more. The Workers Circle Democracy Circles emerged as vibrant hubs of grassroots organizing and activism since their launch in 2023. Our network expanded to over 80 circles nationwide, connecting over 350 participants in a grassroots movement that powers our activism. The Workers Circle continues to be the world's leading center for Yiddish language instruction and the largest provider of Yiddish language classes in the U.S. We've offered 160 classes through our world-renowned program, engaging nearly 2,000 students with 50 instructors worldwide.. Our daylong Winter in Yiddishland virtual program drew over 500 students.
