NCJW, T’ruah, Bend the Arc Jewish Action, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and HIAS are hosting a rally on August 11, 2019 as a part of Tisha B’Av: Jews Say #CloseTheCamps. The rally is cosponsored by JUFJ, Avodah, Uri L’tzedek, and United We Dream.

Tisha B’av is a Jewish day of mourning, commemorating the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. We will use the saddest day on the Jewish calendar to mourn and resist the policies of our current government that are endangering, imprisoning, and deporting refugees and immigrants seeking safety.
