DC Paid Family and Medical Leave Hearing

DC
The John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennslyvania Ave NW, Washington, DC

Everyone who has earned paid family and medical leave should be able to use the benefits they have earned. Join JUFJ and the DC Paid Leave Campaign as we testify before the DC Council to close a loophole in the law that excludes some workers from using their benefits. You can testify in person, on Zoom, or just in writing if you can't make the hearing. If you are testifying orally, JUFJ staff will help make sure that your time slot is one that works for your schedule.

DC Economic Justice Working Group

DC
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism 2027 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC

Everyone in DC should have what the Torah calls dei machsoro, resources sufficient to meet their needs. Join our Economic Justice Working Group meeting on Zoom or in person to discuss our current campaigns, and how we are working with our partners to build a DC where everyone can live and thrive.

Roots in Ruth: What Shavuot can teach us about sustaining our communities

DC
Tifereth Israel Congregation 7701 16th St NW, Washington, DC

When times are hard, it is especially critical that community members who have resources share those resources with folks in the community who don't. This is one of the lessons of the Book of Ruth, which many Jews read on Shavuot. Join JUFJ's session at the Community Tikkun Leil Shavuos and Shavuot Services at Tifereth Israel with Minyan Segulah, New Synagogue Project, Ohev Sholom Congregation, Shirat HaNefesh, Tifereth Israel, and Fabrangen as we dig into what we can glean from the Book of Ruth about economic justice, solidarity, and how we can support each other when the federal government is being used to try to tear our communities apart.
