Montgomery County Rent Stabilization Hearings

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

Thousands of Montgomery County residents are at risk of being pushed out of our community or becoming unhoused by uncapped rental increases. Join us for the Montgomery County Council's hearing on two key rent-stabilization bills: the HOME Act (16-23) which would stabilize rent at a max of 3%, and the “Anti-Rent Gouging” Bill (15-23) which would codify unaffordable double digit rent increases. Join us in the afternoon in person or in the evening either in person or online.

Think Jewishly, Act Locally: Speak Your Truth to Power in DC

DC
Edlavitch DC JCC 1529 16th St NW, Washington, DC

One of the most effective ways to speak truth to power is to testify before the DC Council. Hearing the stories and personal narratives of constituents helps move elected officials to take action on the issues that really matter. Join us for a workshop on how to create meaningful written testimony based on your personal story and values. We’ll practice connecting your story to specific issues that are before the Council, and how to make policy change through righteous storytelling.

MD Public Safety Hearing: Support HB1071

Maryland State
Miller Senate Office Building 11 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Jewish sacred texts declare that destroying even one life is akin to destroying a whole world. Unfortunately, we know that in Maryland, lives are destroyed every day, especially Black and brown lives, by our system of policing. Join us at the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee hearing for HB1071, which would reduce unnecessary, harmful interactions with the police.

Time to Care

MD Labor Justice Hearing: Support SB828

Maryland State
Lowe House Office Building 6 Bladen St, Annapolis, MD

Nearly everyone needs time away from work at some point to care for a relative, deal with a serious personal illness, or welcome a baby. Our Torah understands this reality, and our sacred texts implore employers to do right by their employees. Join us in Annapolis at the House Economic Matters Committee hearing for SB828, which would implement paid family and medical leave strongly and equitably.
