Jews for Racial & Economic Justice

JEWS AGAINST ISLAMOPHOBIA
CONDEMNS THE NYPD’S USE OF THE THIRD JIHAD PROPAGANDA FILM

Dear Friends,

I'm a long-time JFREJ member - most often seen in the annual Purimspiels - and I'm about to publish Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue: A History of New Jewish Agenda. I want to let the JFREJ network know about this upcoming book and ask for your help to spread the word about this crucial 1980's Jewish activist history.

JFREJ is working towards cross-issue, intersectional coalition building! Join us!

Join JFREJ’s Shalom Bayit Campaign for a training on three vital public programs that support seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income communities: Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Learn how we can better support ourselves and people in our communities while building strong cross-issue movements!

Inspiration abounds! Watch clips of the beautiful speeches from this year's Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer Risk Taker Awards!

Honorees: Freedom Riders Joan Pleune and Reverend C. T. Vivian, Jose Antonio Vargas, and Julia Allain of United We Dream.

Presenters: Ariel "Speedwagon" Federow, Eric Ward, Patricia Jerido, Alana Krivo-Kaufman, and Donna Nevel

With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Adrienne Cooper.  Adrienne was a board member and long time friend of JFREJ.  She was honored at the 2010 Meyer Awards just last year for her work pursuing justice through music and other inspiring cultural work.  Below is the citation presented to her at the ceremony, written by Jenny Romaine and Jenny Levison.  May her memory be for a blessing.
