  • A group of cartoon teenagers with words: Youth Justice Canvass

    JUFJ Community Canvass for Youth Justice

    Baltimore
    Baltimore Farmer's Market     E Saratoga St & Holliday St, Baltimore

    Jewish sacred texts teach us that the world was created with both justice and mercy, and that children breathe life into the world. But here in Maryland, children who are charged with certain crimes are sentenced as if they were adults. That is neither just nor merciful, and it robs these children and the world of the breath of life. Join JUFJers in canvassing for youth justice at the Baltimore Farmer's Market to build support for the Youth Equity and Safety Act!

    Annapolis Academy: Our Issues, Our Legislators

    Effectively communicating about our issues to legislators is critical. Even more important than the facts and figures is sharing our stories and values. This storytelling training is valuable for anyone who is interested in telling a story at a Maryland legislator meeting or who is interested in writing testimony for any of our issues. This is a repeat of the training offered on November 8.

    Montgomery County Racial Equity and Policing Team Meeting

    Montgomery County

    All of us deserve a life with dignity, respect, and safety. But here in Montgomery County, Black and brown children in public schools are scapegoated as criminals rather than nurtured. Jewish tradition teaches that the Divine encompasses both justice and mercy — every child should have the chance to grow and learn, not be discarded and punished.
