Inside the Activist's Studio was developed by the AJWS - AVODAH partnership in close collaboration with a host of like-minded Jewish organizations. In DC, JUFJ will co-host the event.
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.
