JUFJ Community Canvass for Youth Justice

Baltimore
Baltimore Farmer's Market E Saratoga St & Holliday St, Baltimore

Jewish sacred texts teach us that the world was created with both justice and mercy, and that children breathe life into the world. But here in Maryland, children who are charged with certain crimes are sentenced as if they were adults. That is neither just nor merciful, and it robs these children and the world of the breath of life. Join JUFJers in canvassing for youth justice at the Baltimore Farmer's Market to build support for the Youth Equity and Safety Act!

This is a repeat of the training offered on November 8.
