It served as an umbrella agency for a number of regional organizations of the Soviet Jewry movement. In the 1980 GNYCSJ was renamed Coalition for Soviet Jewry.[1] ActivitiesThe organization gathered information on the conditions of Jews in the USSR, mostly from the American tourists visiting refuseniks in Soviet Union, and informed federal, state, and local government officials, thus influencing the Soviet-American relations during the two final decades of the Cold War.[1] The GNYCSJ organized public events aimed to raise public awareness of the plight of the Soviet Jewry, including annual Solidarity Sunday rallies that gathered large crowds of supporters in New York City.[2] GNYCSJ co-sponsored the 1987 Freedom Sunday for Soviet Jews in Washington, D.C. attended by 250,000 participants.[3] LeadershipMalcolm Hoenlin was the first director of GNYCSJ.[4] During the 1980s GNYCSJ was chaired by Seymour P. Lachman, who was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS).[5] Zeesy Schnur served as the Executive Director.[6]Footnotes1. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/857769728|title=The struggle for Soviet Jewry in American politics : Israel versus the American Jewish establishment|last=1943-|first=Lazin, Frederick A.,|isbn=0739161415|location=Lanham, Md.|oclc=857769728}} 2. ^{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/759835756|title=When they come for us, we'll be gone : the epic struggle to save Soviet Jewry|last=Gal.|first=Beckerman,|date=2010|publisher=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt|isbn=0547504438|location=Boston|oclc=759835756}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.jta.org/1987/12/07/archive/more-than-200000-rally-on-behalf-of-soviet-jewry-in-massive-d-c-gathering|title=More Than 200,000 Rally on Behalf of Soviet Jewry in Massive D.C.
