Jews Against Boris (JAB) is a group of young, left-wing Jews who are campaigning against Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party during the UK/2019 General Election.

On 17 November 2019, thirty JAB activists went door-knocking for Labour Party candidate Ali Milani in Boris Johnson’s seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

Rivkah Brown, one of the JAB canvassers, said:

“My personal relationship with the Labour Party has been complicated by the events of the last few years, and I understand why many in my community feel unable to vote for them.
“However all racisms are interconnected and Jews cannot be safe while other minorities are under threat. Boris Johnson has incited a hateful and divisive politics that endangers all marginalised people. That is why being part of a group of British Jews who show solidarity with other communities is so important at this election.
"I'm proud to campaign for the working-class Muslim immigrant, Ali Milani, who is – in an incredible act of poetic justice – going to defeat our born-to-rule Islamophobic prime minister."[1]
