Join JUFJ for a discussion on DC’s housing justice movement under unified Republican control of the federal government. The new administration and Congress have expressed their intent to interfere in DC’s affairs and overturn the will of DC voters, with potentially severe consequences for unhoused people and tenants in DC. Learn what’s at stake, how to mobilize against these threats, and how our community can continue to work for housing justice in the face of challenges. |

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. |
