Jo Cox was a passionate campaigner, activist and humanitarian - she was driven by her belief that a fairer, kinder and more tolerant world was possible. At The Jo Cox Foundation, we act at all times on Jo’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. We seek to bring people together and emphasise our shared humanity.

In light of the recent abhorrent instances of antisemitism on Twitter and Instagram, we have compiled a list of organisations, resources and actions you can take to support the Jewish community and stand in solidarity against antisemitism. Please note that this is a non-exhaustive list of resources and we will continue to update it as appropriate.

We are delighted to spotlight a few of our most recent Jo Cox Foundation supporters: local band Clapham Watch, friend of the Foundation Tom Weller, and workout group Team Hench. A massive thank you to everyone who continues to champion Jo’s ‘more in common’ message in their own unique ways! 

If you are interested in becoming a supporter while also engaging in physical activity, pledge to cycle for the 2020 Jo Cox Way. Join others around the world as they work to create and strengthen community through cycling in Jo’s honour.

In April 2020, we were proud to embark on a partnership with Popsa; a mobile app which helps customers curate their memories and produce beautiful keepsakes such as photo books.

The Great Get Together, inspired by Jo Cox and an initiative of The Jo Cox Foundation, is a vehicle for people to take action in their communities and bring people together across divides. We know all too well the devastation that racism can cause. It has no place in our society, and our work is rooted in the belief that strong, compassionate, and well-connected communities can only exist where there is equality and inclusivity.

We stand strongly against racism and violence in all forms. At this time, we stand in solidarity with Black people in our communities across the UK and around the world.
