Rachel Faulkner is a community organizer, social justice advocate, and anti-racist educator. She currently serves as the Senior Director of National Campaigns and Partnerships at the National Council of Jewish Women, where she oversees issue-based campaigns including antisemitism education, abortion access, and civil rights and works to build cross-organizational relationships that ensure those most impacted by these issues are centered in mobilizing the Jewish community. Additionally, Rachel served as the National Organizer for #JWOCMarching, is an alum of Bend the Arc's Selah program and the Wexner Field Fellowship, and has supported several Jewish organizations in reaching their anti-racist and equity-centered goals through her consulting work. Ultimately, Rachel is passionate about ensuring that the voices of Jewish Women of Color are centered in Judaism and in the greater world, but when she's not busy doing that, she spends time with her five-year-old daughter Ori Justice, taking walks around the nation's capital and building expert LEGO builds.
