Loyola students! Join JUFJ and Campus Ministry on Tuesday October 3 to help build a Sukkah on the Quad and share Sukkot food and celebration.
Jewish sacred texts teach us that the world was created with both justice and mercy. Here in Maryland, children who are charged with certain crimes are sentenced as if they were adults. That is neither just nor merciful. Join JUFJ's youth justice working group as we discuss the campaign to pass the Youth Equity and Safety (YES) Act.
Baltimore relies on facial recognition and other forms of surveillance technology to turn regular people into informants for the police. You need to know exactly what this surveillance and tracking technology does and what you can do to protect your face, data and privacy. Watch Netflix’s "Coded Bias" with the Campaign for Justice, Safety and Jobs and join us for some delicious food and even more delicious conversation about facial recognition technology.

Since 2018, JUFJ has been part of the local movement to transform public safety in Montgomery County. One of the core coalitions in this movement formed in 2020, with a focus on ending the practice of treating Montgomery County Public School students — especially Black and brown students — as criminals. That coalition is relaunching as the Montgomery County Decriminalization Coalition, and you’re invited to the launch party!
For thousands of years, the human need for housing has been central to Jewish thought. JUFJ and our partners have been working to make sure everyone in Baltimore has a safe, stable home for nearly a decade now, and this hearing is one key step toward making sure renters and the city can hold landlords accountable for unsafe housing conditions. Join us to pack the chamber, or even deliver testimony to the City Council.
Join JUFJers from across Maryland either in-person (preferred) or virtually as we kick off our advocacy for the new Maryland legislative session!
Jews United for Justice turns 25 this year, and a quarter century of work deserves celebration! Join JUFJ for our 25th Anniversary Celebration and the 2023 Heschel Vision Awards on Sunday, November 19.
