JUFJ Baltimore is working on campaigns to reform our city’s rent court, to fight mass incarceration and racist policing, to establish fair elections, and to make water affordable for all Baltimoreans.

Our ongoing community education work includes Jewish learning programs with local synagogues and havurot, where we explore how our traditions call us to work for social justice.
