June 13, 2023 — Tel Aviv, Israel

At AJC Global Forum 2023, Charlotte Aaron, Milton Zerman, and Hannah Krutiansky, leaders of the Jewish Law Students Association at the UC Berkeley School of Law, received the AJC Sharon Greene Award for Campus Advocacy. The award was established by the family of the late Sharon Greene to recognize college-based advocates who combat antisemitism while supporting Jewish life on campus.

In their role as leaders of the Jewish Law Students Association, they led the Jewish student response to a coalition of more than a dozen student groups who passed a bylaw that banned the participation of pro-Zionist speakers at events they run.
