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.

Baltimore Hearing: Local Control of the Police

Baltimore
Baltimore City Hall
100 Holliday Street, Baltimore, MD

Jewish tradition teaches that only when our bodies are safe from harm can we nurture and sustain our souls. Allowing police to harm our friends, family, and neighbors is a choice we don’t need to keep making. Join JUFJ and our partners at a Baltimore City Council hearing on legislation to help restore control over the Baltimore police to local legislators, rather than state legislators.

Montgomery County Racial Equity and Policing Team Meeting

Montgomery County

All of us deserve a life with dignity, respect, and safety. But here in Montgomery County, Black and brown children in public schools are scapegoated as criminals rather than nurtured. Jewish tradition teaches that the Divine encompasses both justice and mercy — every child should have the chance to grow and learn, not be discarded and punished.

Join JUFJ’s Racial Equity and Policing Team for a teach-in on restorative justice from Amyra Hasan, campaign organizer at Young People for Progress.

Baltimore Movie Screening & Panel Discussion on Black Maternal Health: Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

For the past seven years, JUFJ has partnered with Baltimore Hebrew Congregation (BHC) and other local congregations and organizations to observe Dr. King's birthday. This year’s event will feature the film “Birthing Justice,” an award-winning documentary that explores racial disparities in maternal health care. The documentary examines inequitable structures and systems that have resulted in this racial disparity, as well as the movement to fix this broken system.

Montgomery County Public Hearing on CIT Bill

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.
