On July 1, water rates in Baltimore will increase by 9.5%, and 52% of Baltimoreans will pay more than they can afford for this basic human right. These rates are unacceptable, and we won't allow our friends and neighbors to pay even more for what they need to live. Join us at a coalition press conference as we demand that our city provides safe, affordable water for all Baltimoreans. Wear your JUFJ buttons/swag! We'll be handing out the signs that we prepared at our last community convening.

On Tisha B’Av (the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av),we observe the tradition of mourning thousands of years of destruction and oppression of our people, from Moses smashing the first two tablets to destruction of both Holy Temples in Jerusalem to subsequent exiles, mass murders, and deportations. Join us Sunday to grieve the broader suffering and destruction around us, through chanting of traditional texts, lifting up demands and voices of those impacted by detention, deportation, imprisonment, and other state violence, and bringing our lamentations to the seats of federal and local power.
