Events
Honor Sukkot this year by focusing on the holiday's connection to themes of social justice.
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.
This service will be accompanied by instruments.
Please bring a potluck vegetarian entree or salad to share. (No fish please; dairy & eggs are okay.)
Jews United for Justice shares information about events & opportunities sponsored by JUFJ allies, or information about local Jewish or inter-faith events and opportunities which concern local social justice issues, local anti-poverty work, or religious teachings about social justice issues.
It is up to our discretion whether or not to list a particular event or opportunity. No events will be listed which take place outside of the greater DC area, or which focus primarily on international issues. We may choose not to publicize events which take place on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath - from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), or on Jewish holidays.
To submit an event or opportunity for consideration to be listed on our website please email us a one-paragraph description.
