It's been another great year for JUFJ's Jeremiah Fellowship program, and we want to celebrate with you, the program's supporters, fans, trainers, alumni, and family and friends of our Fellows!
For the past year, our 16 Jeremiah Fellows have been meeting twice a month to learn different models of putting ethics and values into action, for intimate conversations about urgent local issues with local leaders, and for intensive study of Jewish texts and traditions. We at JUFJ have been deeply inspired by their commitment to making our region a more just place to live.
As they graduate from the program, please join us for dessert and inspiring stories from the Fellows as they share with us how learning the tools of changemaking, studying justice issues in a Jewish context, and deepening their involvement in local organizing efforts has changed them. Your presence will also support the Fellows as they embark on their individual social change projects over the course of the next year.

For the past six months, more than 40 neighborhood organizations, workers' advocates, community activists and clergy have worked together to develop the solution to the problems posed by Walmart's plan to open four new stores in the District of Columbia.
We have crafted an Enforceable Community Benefits Agreement guaranteeing that Walmart raises our standard of living and improves our quality of life, rather than the opposite, which is what usually happens when the world's largest retailer enters a market.
DC Mayor Vincent Gray says he wants a community benefits agreement, too. But how can it be a community benefits agreement if the deal is negotiated by the mayor and Walmart without community input and without the community in the room?

Corporate America's role in redefining the labor movement and worker's rights is the focus of Koch Party tonight at Busboys & Poets. This monthly series is designed to raise awareness around issues traditionally championed by organized labor, in this case, the impact of corporate money on worker's rights. Andy Kroll, staff writer at Mother Jones, and Will Robinson, founding partner at the New Media Firm political consulting agency, will explore how conservatives across the country – like the infamous Koch brothers -- have been hard at work trying to dismantle the middle class by diminishing collective bargaining rights and how the situation in Wisconsin foretells the expanding role played by groups with murky ties to wealthy corporate executives as they push a conservative agenda. After the panelists share their thoughts and opinions, the floor will be open for what's expected to be a lively Q&A session.

Shared Opportunity
Building vibrant, mixed income communities with transit-oriented development
Transit-oriented development can provide many opportunities to a community – safer, more walkable streets, new retail choices, a variety of housing options, and increased real estate values. While building more vibrant and diverse neighborhoods around transit stations has many benefits, it can also create new challenges for residents who already struggle with housing costs.
How can transit-oriented development be leveraged to not only create more desirable places to live and work, but also preserve and create new quality housing choices that are affordable to a variety of residents? Our panel will discuss how transit-oriented development can address the need to foster vibrant, mixed income communities, and allow residents with a range of incomes to share in the benefits of new investment.

Join Newspaper Guild members as they protest attempts by The Washington Post to severely cut contract job protections. Bargaining began on May 4th; the Guild contract, now expired, contains protections against the effects of outsourcing and provides for largely seniority-based layoff and recall, but Post management wants to gut these provisions. In addition, more than half of Guild-covered Post employees haven’t received a raise since May 2008. The Post is offering a paltry $800 lump sum and no increase for two years, while Publisher Katherine Weymouth took a fat 16.4% raise for herself in April, as well as a $1.5 million bonus.
