Join JUFJ activists to observe Sukkot by learning about the housing crisis in our cities and our region. We'll go on a guided tour of the EVICTED exhibit at the National Building Museum together, then discuss the exhibit and what it means to celebrate shelter when so many people can't afford it.
The Put a Price On It DC coalition, of which JUFJ is a proud member, has been fighting for years for strong legislation that aggressively targets climate change and includes the most ambitious renewable energy standards in the country.

DC leaders and organizers have been preparing for 5779 with months of thoughtful conversations to explore what campaign we might work on next in the District. The DC Campaign Selection Team is ready to burst into this new year with potential campaigns that will help bring us closer to racial and economic justice in the District. For our next campaign to be successful, we need you, our JUFJ community, to tell us which of the possible campaigns are most aligned with JUFJ's values and strengths, and for which campaign(s) you'd be excited to take action.

It’s always important to understand the history of the places we live, work, and organize in. That’s even more true when that place happens to be our nation’s capital, a city that has often served as a national battleground over things like slavery, segregation, civil rights, the drug war, and gentrification.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for! It's time for JUFJ to select our next DC campaigns! Dozens of people have guided our campaign selection process so far, thinking carefully about what change we can make in our city to move toward racial, social, and economic equity.
Join us to be in community, to eat together, and to help decide on our path forward. We will build this world with love — but we also need an action plan. Come to this meeting to connect with your community and determine the next steps JUFJ will take in DC.
