Decriminalize Montgomery County Launch

Montgomery County
Gene Lynch Urban Park 8410 Colesville Rd

Since 2018, JUFJ has been part of the local movement to transform public safety in Montgomery County. Some of the core campaigns of this movement launched in 2020, including a focus on ending the practice of treating Montgomery County Public School students — especially Black and brown students — as criminals. To continue the organizing for decriminalization of young people in schools and drivers in traffic stops, the effort has been renamed as Decriminalize Montgomery County, and you’re invited to the launch party! Join Young People for Progress, JUFJ, and other advocates on Sunday, October 22 at 3:00 PM at Gene Lynch Urban Park in Silver Spring (8410 Colesville Rd) to learn about what we can do together to forge a path towards safer traffic enforcement, a fairer education system, and a community where all residents can live and thrive without criminalization.

Montgomery County Council Briefing: School to Prison Pipeline

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

This summer, the Montgomery County Office of Legislative Oversight (OLO) released an important and heartbreaking report on racial disparities in the school-to-prison pipeline in Montgomery County. Join JUFJ and our partners at Racial Justice NOW! and Young People for Progress to mobilize community presence at the Council Worksession where Dr. Elaine Bonner-Tompkins of the OLO will present the report and discuss its impact with the county council's Public Safety and Education & Culture Committees.

Textbank: Maryland Statewide Kickoff Recruitment

Maryland State

Come help us reach out to our JUFJ community about our upcoming Kickoff event as we head into the next legislative session! The more participants we have at this text bank, the more people we can reach. Everyone is welcome! We will provide a training at the start of the text bank for anyone who has not yet texted with us.

Montgomery County Council Final Vote: Policing Advisory Commission

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

Join JUFJ and our partners for the final council session vote on Bill 32-23. As introduced, this bill would have significantly reduced the power of the Policing Advisory Commission to hold police accountable — but thanks to powerful organizing, the bill was voted out of committee without these harmful provisions. Mobilize with us to show the council we want the bill to pass out of full council without weakening amendments! We will meet at the Montgomery County Council Building at 1 PM ahead of the 1:30 PM full council session.

Maryland Statewide Kickoff

Maryland State
Columbia Jewish Congregation 5885 Robert Oliver Pl, Columbia, MD

Montgomery County Council Committee Worksession: Juvenile Justice

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

Join JUFJ and our partners at Racial Justice NOW! and Young People for Progress to mobilize community presence at the Public Safety Committee Worksession about juvenile justice in Montgomery County. This is an indoor, in-person action, for which we recommend wearing a high-quality mask. We will gather in person 30 minutes before the worksession, which starts at 9:30 AM.

Baltimore Action Meeting: Charting Our Course for 2024 and Beyond

Baltimore
Bolton Street Synagogue 212 W Cold Spring Ln, Baltimore, MD

JUFJ launched in Baltimore in 2014, and we chose to prioritize renters' rights and police accountability. As our work and our community have grown over the last decade, we’ve seized many other opportunities to make change in our city and county. And now, we’re having our first campaign priorities discussion since 2016! Join the Baltimore Campaign Selection Team to learn about their process, hear about two campaign options, and be part of the next steps to determine JUFJ’s Baltimore priorities for the coming years.

Understanding Montgomery County’s School to Prison Pipeline

Montgomery County

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.
