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 at the House Judiciary committee hearing for HB1071, which would reduce unnecessary, harmful interactions with the police.
Join us to text JUFJers to contact their legislators about our key priorities before crossover day. No prior experience necessary!
Join other District 41 JUFJers in a Zoom meeting with our state legislators to discuss our agenda for the 2023 Maryland General Assembly Session.

Many Jews feel called to the work of tikkun olam — repairing the world — but trying to solve global problems is far too much for one person. But one person can make a tremendous difference when we focus on what is happening right here. Join us for an interactive workshop with community organizers focused on building a more just Washington, DC. We’ll learn about how our local government works, and what each of us can do to make real change for the lives of our families, friends, and neighbors here in our own community.
Join JUFJers from across Baltimore to discuss our ongoing issue campaign work. We will share updates for all the local campaigns and brainstorm on how to move the work forward.
Join our next coalition meeting for updates and specific ways to take action to ensure the strongest implementation of paid family and medical leave.
Jewish sacred texts recognize that having safe, stable housing is key to a healthy society. Join our Housing Security Working Group meeting in person or on Zoom to discuss our current campaigns, and how we are working with our partners to ensure that everyone in DC has a safe, stable, affordable place to live.
The DC budget says a lot more than any politician’s speeches about what is truly valued by the people we elect to represent us. Join us to learn about the budget process, past victories for social justice won through budget campaigns, and what you can do right now to ensure that next year’s budget reflects the Jewish social justice values that many of us share.
Thousands of Montgomery County residents are at risk of being pushed out of our community or becoming unhoused by uncapped rental increases. Join us for the Montgomery County Council's hearing on two key rent-stabilization bills: the HOME Act (16-23) which would stabilize rent at a max of 3%, and the “Anti-Rent Gouging” Bill (15-23) which would codify unaffordable double digit rent increases. Join us in the afternoon in person or in the evening either in person or online.

One of the most effective ways to speak truth to power is to testify before the DC Council. Hearing the stories and personal narratives of constituents helps move elected officials to take action on the issues that really matter. Join us for a workshop on how to create meaningful written testimony based on your personal story and values. We’ll practice connecting your story to specific issues that are before the Council, and how to make policy change through righteous storytelling.

Nearly everyone needs time away from work at some point to care for a relative, deal with a serious personal illness, or welcome a baby. Our Torah understands this reality, and our sacred texts implore employers to do right by their employees. Join us in Annapolis at the House Economic Matters Committee hearing for SB828, which would implement paid family and medical leave strongly and equitably.
