Join the Maryland Coalition for Justice and Police Accountability on Tuesday, May 25, 6-8 p.m., for a post-session legislative update on the MCJPA coalition’s five police reform priorities. You will also learn more about next steps and how you can support ongoing work to reimagine policing in Maryland.
Last week, the County Council approved the preliminary budget for FY22, which passed with FULL funding for the Community Resource Officer (CRO) program, and ZERO funding for culturally competent social workers.
This budget, proposed by the County Executive and approved by the County Council, is a complete disappointment to the students, educators, and community members who have been calling for the full removal of police from MCPS for a year now.

The JUFJ office will be closed the entire week of August 16 through August 20. We will return on Monday, August 23.
Since 1998, JUFJ has worked to put “labor” back into Labor Day by engaging our local Jewish communities in a collective conversation about our texts, our historical experiences, and the challenges facing workers today. We are providing congregations with a resource packet, working with congregations to arrange speakers, and planning follow-up events to help members of participating congregations learn more about some of the injustices facing Maryland workers today.
