Racism and Antisemitism Workshop 1: Dushaw Hockett

Montgomery County
The Community Room at the Carlton
4550 N Park Ave, Chevy Chase, MD

In community organizing we make change by building the collective power of individuals. Organizing for racial equity can work the same way. No matter who we are, we all carry implicit bias within us that affects the way we see, treat, and form relationships with other people.

Racism and Antisemitism Workshop 2: George Derek Musgrove

DC
James and Hoffman
1130 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

It’s always important to understand the history of the places we live, work, and organize in. That’s even more true when that place happens to be our nation’s capital, a city that has often served as a national battleground over things like slavery, segregation, civil rights, the drug war, and gentrification.

Racism and Antisemitism Workshop 3: Suzanne Feinspan

DC
James and Hoffman
1130 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

In this volatile national context, understanding how each of us is targeted by anti-Semitism, the effects that has on us and how our own oppression relates to other forms of oppression is critically important. In this workshop, we will explore some questions through interactive exercises and discussion.

Racism and Antisemitism Workshop 4: Cherie Brown

Montgomery County

Montgomery County Council Hearing: LETT Act

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

Since the killing of Robert White by a police office in the summer of 2018, JUFJ has been working with partners to bring more accountability and transparency to our county police force. Councilmember Will Jawando has introduced the Law Enforcement Trust and Transparency (LETT) Act, which would require an independent investigation and public transparency in these cases. Join us for the hearing to show the County Council that you support for this important bill.

Racial Equity: Community Conversations
