Join the Labor Seder volunteer team at our first planning meeting for this year's Labor Seder!

Volunteers will help us write the haggadah, reimagine your favorite Passover rituals to help highlight this important labor issue, research local immigration issues, and reach out to immigrant communities and make sure their voices are heard at our seder.

We'll have dinner will be from 6:30-7 and the meeting from 7-9. There will be lots of opportunities to meet new people, reconnect with friends, learn, and make a real impact on some of the most pressing issues facing our region.

RSVP and questions to Monica: monica@jufj.org

The Logistics Commitee is in charge of all the details of the Seder, like food and registration. Please RSVP to Lizzie (lizzie@jufj.org) by Tuesday, March 1st.

On April 11th, Jews United For Justice's Labor Seder will once again highlight a major economic justice issue in DC -- the protection of the social safety et.

This comes at a crucial time, as the DC government is contemplating deep cuts to essential services that help working families and low-income DC residents stay in their homes, keep their lights on, and keep food on the table. 

Help us make sure the economic downturn is not paid for by cutting services to DC's neediest!  Help us plan the largest event this spring focusing on DC's safety net. 

Pre-register here. 

Each year, Jews United For Justice's Labor Seder highlights a current workers' rights struggle and brings together the Jewish and labor communities in a shared commitment to social and economic justice.

This year's seder - set for Sunday, April 11 -- will focus on our region's social safety net crisis, as city and state budgets are cut in ways that disproportionately affect working families and low-income residents. The seder will feature singing, storytelling, discussion, reflection, and action, as well as local workers, activists, rabbis, and an original haggadah. Planning for the seder is now underway; email seder@jufj.org if you'd like to be involved.
