    Think Jewishly, Act Locally: Advocacy in DC Government

    Edlavitch DC JCC     1529 16th St NW, Washington, DC

    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.

    Think Jewishly, Act Locally: Budgets are Moral Documents (DC)

    DC
    Edlavitch DC JCC     1529 16th St NW, Washington, DC

    A city’s budget says a lot more than any politician’s speeches about what is truly valued by the people we elect to represent us. Whether it’s how much money is allocated towards eradicating homelessness or for job growth; helping increase education equity or support families; voters have the power to advocate for how the budget is allocated. Join organizers from Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) to learn about DC’s budget process, past victories for social justice won through budget campaigns, and what you can do right now to ensure that next year’s city budget reflects the Jewish social justice values that many of us share.

    Think Jewishly, Act Locally: Speaking Your Truth To Power (DC)

    DC
    Edlavitch DC JCC     1529 16th St NW, Washington, DC

    Research shows that simply providing statistics around an issue is not enough to move people to make change; personal stories and connecting the issue to real people’s lives is a necessary component. Sharing our stories with those in power is one of the best ways to move the needle on social justice issues we care about. One of the most effective ways to do this 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. In this workshop we will learn how to create powerful written testimony based on your personal story and values. We’ll practice connecting our stories to specific issues that are before the DC Council and get people ready to testify for just change.

Don’t miss this perfect mashup of shenanigans and social action!

  • Speak Truth to Power in DC

    DC

    One of the most effective ways to speak truth to power is to testify before the DC Council.

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.
