Join JUFJ's team of committed DC activists on the second Thursday of every month to work toward a DC where people of every race and level of wealth can thrive. We'll provide the snacks and the actions — all you need to bring is your commitment to justice in our community!
This month's topic is One Fair Wage: learn about Initiative 77, how it helps tipped workers, and what you can do to make sure it's effective!
Support workers at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront Hotel. They are calling on their bosses to respect their right to decide whether to unionize, and they deserve a fair process.
The DC Council has scheduled a hearing to receive public input on Initiative 77 and paying the District's tipped workers the same minimum wage as everyone else. This initiative was passed by 54% of primary voters but now the Council is seeking to overturn the will of the voters.
Join JUFJ Montgomery County at our first monthly community convening! Each convening is a space for you to connect with other JUFJ leaders and supporters, stay updated on our ongoing projects, and take action with us on one of our campaigns. All are welcome.
The first half hour beginning at 6:30pm will be a general info session for those who are not familiar with JUFJ.
This month we will be preparing for our upcoming house meetings with our state legislators. Get ready for intimate, in-person conversations with your state legislators by practicing with us at Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation. Experience a mock house meeting setting, and get trained in advocacy skills so that you are ready to represent progressive Jewish values this year.
We will have light refreshments!

JUFJ and Communities United will be coming together to host a phonebanking event on Feb 13th in support of a strong, clean minimum wage bill. Come anytime between 2 and 8 to lend a hand!
More than 600,000 Maryland workers work full-time but don’t earn enough to make ends meet. A $15 minimum wage means a better Maryland for all of us. Raising the wage would lift hundreds of thousands of families out of poverty, create new customers and profits for local businesses, and strengthen our neighborhoods.
Please come phonebank to help us achieve this victory!
