MD Labor Justice Hearing/Watch Party: Support SB828

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Our sages teach us that to deny an employee the time and wages they need to care for themselves and their family is to take their very life from them. Nobody should have to choose between their job and caring for their family. Join us in Annapolis or on Zoom at the Senate Finance Committee hearing for SB828. The bill would clarify details of the Time to Care Act to ensure the paid time off it guarantees to Maryland workers is accessible and equitable.

MD Court and Prison Reform Hearing/Watch Party: Support HB96

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

The Torah commands us to pursue justice, and our sages instruct us that the methods we use to do so must be just themselves. The practice of automatically charging youths as adults in Maryland is unjust, ineffective and disproportionally targets Black and brown youth. Join us in Annapolis or on Zoom for the House Judiciary Committee hearing on HB96, the Youth Equity and Safety Act, which would put an end to the racist practice of autocharge.

MD Labor Justice Hearing/Watch Party: Support HB988

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Our sages teach us that to deny an employee the time and wages they need to care for themselves and their family is to take their very life from them. Nobody should have to choose between their job and caring for their family. Join us in Annapolis or on Zoom at the House Economic Matters Committee hearing for HB988. The bill would clarify details of the Time to Care Act to ensure the paid time off it guarantees to Maryland workers is accessible and equitable.

MD Public Safety Hearing: Support HB853

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Jewish sacred texts declare that destroying even one life is akin to destroying a whole world. Unfortunately, we know that in Maryland, lives are destroyed every day, especially Black and brown lives, by our system of policing. Join us in person (or tune in on your own virtually) at the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee hearing for HB853, which would restore control of the Baltimore police department to Baltimore City residents and their elected representatives in the City Council.

MD Court and Prison Reform Senate Hearing: Funding for Women’s Prerelease Facility

Maryland State
Miller Senate Office Building 11 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

JUFJ is guided by the Jewish concept of tzelem elohim, which teaches that all people are created in the Divine image, with inherent and equal dignity and value. Prerelease programs help people nearing the end of their prison sentences secure employment, housing, drug treatment, mental health services, and family support. There are multiple facilities for men in Maryland, but none for women. Join us in Annapolis (or tune in on your own virtually) for the Senate Capital Budget Subcommittee's budget hearing to advocate that the funding we won last year (but was struck from the FY24 budget) be put back in the budget and that the women's prerelease facility be fully funded to avoid any further delays in implementation.

MD Labor Justice Hearing: Support SB828

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Join us in Annapolis at the House Economic Matters Committee hearing for SB828, which would implement paid family and medical leave strongly and equitably.
