This year, JUFJ has deepened our work to support Black and Brown-led community partners' calls to defund police in our region. This work is essential in the local struggle for racial justice, but in addition to concrete action, it also requires us to look inside our organization and ourselves to ask some deep questions. What roles do we have as individuals, and as part of predominantly, but not exclusively white Jewish organizations like JUFJ in being complicit with and/or resisting police power and presence? How do whiteness and Jewishness impact these relationships to policing?
This year's election in Montgomery County is not just about national races or electing officials — voters here need to fight two dangerous County ballot measures. Question B threatens public funding that pays for essential workers like firefighters, nurses, librarians, and bus drivers. Question D diminishes our voice in County government by reducing your Councilmembers from 5 to just 1. Join JUFJ and Councilmember Evan Glass for an inside look at the County ballot questions that we will be voting on in November.
