Montgomery County CIT Bill Worksession

Montgomery County
Montgomery County Council Building 100 Maryland Avenue, Rockville, MD

JUFJ is joining our partners from the Silver Spring Justice Coalition at the County Council Building in Rockville to mobilize against Bill 43-23, which would codify the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT). This harmful bill would open the door for a more pervasive police response to crises that involve mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorder. Join us in person to help hold the joint Public Safety and Health and Human Services committees accountable as they deliberate on the bill.

MD Youth Justice Hearing: Defense Against HB814

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

All of us deserve a life with dignity, respect, and safety.

Join us in Annapolis for the House Judiciary Committee hearing in order to defend against HB814, and help guarantee the rights and equity of children in the court and policing systems.

MD Economic Justice Hearing/Watch Party: Support SB0766 and SB0705

Maryland State
Miller Senate Office Building 11 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Jewish tradition teaches that in a just world, all people — regardless of race, income, or zip code — would have what the Torah calls dei machsoro, resources sufficient for their needs.

We need to come together again to say that it’s time for everyone’s needs to be met, and for the wealthiest to pay their fair share. Join us in Annapolis or on Zoom for the Senate Budget & Taxation Committee hearing on SB0766, which will help create a more equitable tax plan.
