Please join Jews United For Justice and Virginia New Majority as we GET OUT THE VOTE in Fairfax, Virginia. Jews United For Justice is taking part in the Righteous Indignation Project which seeks to mobilize progressive Jews to voice social justice and environmental issues as religious and moral priorities in the 2008 election season and beyond. In keeping with this mission we will go canvassing with Virginia New Majority, an organization that educates and organizes Virginians in support of social and economic justice for all people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, particularly immigrants, African-Americans, tenants, workers, youth and low-income people. | ||
