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 training is one hour and 15 minutes - let us know what shift you will attend when you register.
Across the country, including right at home in Montgomery County, the "School to Prison Pipeline" pushes young people from public schools into the criminal legal system. Black, Brown, and disabled students are disproportionately targeted by the school-to-prison pipeline.
Please join our partners in the Silver Spring Justice Coalition and Racial Justice NOW! for a virtual conversation with Dr. Elaine Bonner-Tompkins from the County's Office of Legislative Oversight to discuss a recent report about the School to Prison Pipeline in Montgomery County.
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!
