  • Committee of the Whole Hearings: Virtual Watch Party

    DC

    DC Council's Committee of the Whole is holding public hearings on Wednesday June 17th from 12-6PM and Thursday June 18th from 9AM-6PM. JUFJ is holding a virtual watch party- will you join us?

  • Call DC Council before they vote on the budget!

    DC

    It is essential that Council Chair Phil Mendelson hear from you before the Council budget vote to make sure that DC's budget is focused on racial justice and equity.

  • Postponed: Just Recovery Campaign Call

    DC

    Yesterday Chairman Mendelson moved to repeal a modest tax increase and instead cut funds to vital social services in the middle of a global pandemic and economic crisis. Our partners, including the organizers who were planning to present on tonight’s call, are calling for an action tonight in response to this shocking, undemocratic attempt to strip aid from DC families and excluded workers.

    We are therefore postponing our Just Recovery DC campaign call.

    Please email Zach Weinstein at zach@jufj.org for more information.

    Make sure to check out our online action alert and guide for how to call and tweet at Council to make your voice heard. The links can be “Updates & Actions” on https://jufj.andrewhickman.me/our-work/issue-campaigns/just-recovery-dc/
