Seattle Action for Soviet JewryReturn to Top

Seattle Action for Soviet Jewry (SASJ) was formed by Judy Lash Balint in 1974. Upon returning from a trip to the U.S.S.R., where she and her husband visited refuseniks in Ukraine and Russia, Mrs. Balint felt the need to raise the issue of Soviet Jewry in the Seattle area. She initiated Seattle Action for Soviet Jewry, and with the help of local attorney Leonard Schroeter made contact with other groups interested in the Soviet Jewry issue. In 1975 Seattle Action for Soviet Jewry became formally affiliated with Union of Councils for Soviet Jews. By establishing relationships with congressmen and senators the SASJ focused on political pressure which produced significant successes on behalf of individual refusenik and prisoner cases. For many years Seattle was a center for the Citizen Diplomacy movement which found the city hosting many delegations of visiting Soviet officials as well as major conferences.
