    Baltimore Monthly Community Convening

    Baltimore
    Bolton Street Synagogue     212 W Cold Spring Ln, Baltimore, MD

    Join JUFJ on October 9th for our monthly community convening--a chance for leaders and supporters to connect, get educated, and take concrete action to support the work that JUFJ is doing. This month, all roads lead to the November 6th election: we'll be discussing the Jewish values behind voting, some of the nitty gritty details of what offices and ballot measures are up for grabs, and taking a big-picture look at the issues that JUFJ is working on and the stakes of this year's election for those issues.

    In community organizing we make change by building the collective power of individuals. Organizing for racial equity can work the same way. No matter who we are, we all carry implicit bias within us that affects the way we see, treat, and form relationships with other people.

    Racism and Antisemitism Workshop 2: George Derek Musgrove

    DC
    James and Hoffman     1130 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

    It’s always important to understand the history of the places we live, work, and organize in. That’s even more true when that place happens to be our nation’s capital, a city that has often served as a national battleground over things like slavery, segregation, civil rights, the drug war, and gentrification.
