    Baltimore Hearing: Local Control of the Police

    Baltimore
    Baltimore City Hall     100 Holliday Street, Baltimore, MD

Join JUFJ and our partners at a Baltimore City Council hearing on legislation to help restore control over the Baltimore police to local legislators, rather than state legislators.

    MD Youth Justice Hearing: Defense Against HB814

    Maryland State
    Lowe House Office Building     6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

    All of us deserve a life with dignity, respect, and safety. But here in Maryland, conservative millionaires and billionaires like David Smith think they can bully state legislators and the Governor into treating Black and brown kids as criminals so they can further their reactionary agenda of returning to failed “tough on crime” policies of mass incarceration and undermining trust in government. Join us in Annapolis for the House Judiciary Committee hearing in order to defend against HB814, and help guarantee the rights and equity of children in the court and policing systems.

  • MD Renters’ Rights Hearing/Watch Party: Support HB477

    Maryland State
    Lowe House Office Building     6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

    Jewish sacred texts recognize that having safe, stable housing is key to a healthy society, and we know that it is key to reducing racial inequities. Join us in Annapolis or on Zoom for the House Environment and Transportation Committee hearing on HB477, which will help guarantee renters' rights to just cause eviction practices.

    Maryland State
    Miller Senate Office Building     11 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

    Jewish tradition teaches that in a just world, all people — regardless of race, income, or zip code — would have what the Torah calls dei machsoro, resources sufficient for their needs. But here in Maryland, giant corporations and the very rich are hoarding so much wealth that many Black and brown Marylanders can’t afford housing, food, or childcare. We need to come together again to say that it’s time for everyone’s needs to be met, and for the wealthiest to pay their fair share. Join us in Annapolis or on Zoom for the Senate Budget & Taxation Committee hearing on SB0766, which will help create a more equitable tax plan.

  • Rockville City Council Meeting: Rent Stabilization Discussion

    Montgomery County

    Jewish tradition teaches us that everyone deserves a safe and stable home. Though Montgomery County passed a Rent Stabilization law last year that will cap the rent at a maximum of 6%, Rockville is exempt from this legislation as a municipality.

    Join JUFJ and our partners in the Montgomery County Racial Equity Network at the Rockville City Council meeting where the city council will hear a briefing on rent stabilization, and then discuss whether the city will adapt protections for stable and predictable rents. We will meet at Rockville City Hall at 6 PM for a rally ahead of the 7 PM City Council session. You do not need to live in the City of Rockville to attend this meeting.
