2025 Maryland Statewide Agenda
Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) works in coalition and partnership with grassroots and advocacy groups to build and win issue campaigns. Our approach is based on our commitment to racial equity and dismantling systems of oppression, which includes centering the leadership of our most directly impacted partners and being as transparent as possible about our agenda selection process.
When we select campaigns, we keep in mind our goals of organizing and mobilizing our base, strengthening coalitions we are part of, and shifting the balance of power in our local communities. In 2025, we are recommitting ourselves to the efforts to pass critical legislation that did not pass last year. We are so excited to be diving deeper into our organizing around youth justice, economic justice, and housing justice. In addition to our three full scope of work campaigns, we will be engaged in other campaigns in a more limited way.
